[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you avoiding plastics, do you not have mother-in-laws? :(

We have an epic battle every single year keeping the mountain of plastic stuff she buys out of our house. She thinks we are overly worried zealots. [/quote]

And, as a prior poster noted, mothers as well as mothers in law! I think my in laws must have stock in Fisher Price, ugh! And the frustrating thing is they should know better.  My mom gets some "natural" toy catalogs and always points out to me how nice the toys look, then she gives us the latest junk from Costco.  She just can't resist the Costco toy aisle.  And my MIL told me how she loved Haba for her kids, and I told her they still make it and it's still considered a nice quality brand (hint, hint), and what did she buy for Christmas? More Costco junk and more Fisher Price.

For the posters who suggested telling your mother/MIL your views, we've done this (diplomatically I think), but they can't seem to be convinced that their picks are not nice quality toys.  And as far as throwing it out, well, they are my baby's grandparents and you have to balance rocking those important relationships I think.[/quote]
