[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want to say that I love my mom, she is a good mom and grandma and is very sweet. But she is a bit of a hoarder. I had a baby three weeks ago and now every time she comes over she brings something that she has saved from when I was a baby. She cannot come over empty handed. I could go on, but I don't want to be rude. Also, I know there is probably something I could say to stop it, but she is being nice and I don't want to cause a thing. Ugh. [/quote] Saving useful things for use later is not hoarding. It is practical frugality. I loved that my kids used that same wooden blocks I used as a child and the same kids table and chair. If the gifts are appropriate and practical but just not your style or if you prefer new to used, the try to tell her nicely. Will she have more grandchildren or are you her only child? [/quote]
