[quote=Anonymous]I can relate to this. I have often wished that my girls had the grandma who would buy them a $100 American Girl doll once a year instead of 100 toys from the dollar store....thankfully, most of the things we get are small (and break easily so then they're gone). She also buys us things she thinks we need, but is kind enough to always include a gift receipt (I don't think I've paid for anything at Macys with my own money for years!). We did make a rule about no more large toys that she has followed--she went through a period where every time she saw a large stuffed toy, she would buy it. There was not room on the bed for the kids anymore --which she did understand once she saw with her own eyes. So maybe start with one item/area (no more furniture, toys, towels, whatever) and see if she can hold that line. Good luck![/quote]
