[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL pulls the same crap. It's all about what SHE wants to give the kids, without any thought as to what they actually like or what is age appropriate. She'll ask for suggestions, we give them to her, and then she does whatever she wants. Return the dollhouse. No question.[/quote] Why is this so common with MILs?! I don't get it. How passive-aggressive can you be over what is supposed to be a nice holiday tradition...[/quote] It's common with MILs because women talk to their mothers and tell them no. Men just don't ever tell their moms no and the "no" always comes from the DIL which creates tension. My mom would LOVE to fill our house with toys just like this MIL. But I tell her no. I'm firm and I return gifts. I love my mom deeply, but she needs handled carefully and a son wouldn't be able to do it. Mom and I joke all the time that it's best she had daughters because she'd be an awful MIL. [/quote]
