[quote=Anonymous]As someone whose relatives gave too many gifts, I understand. It can be overwhelming for the recipient and hard to manage all the stuff. Going overboard like that can be a form of control--and, in my case, connected with my relatives' hoarding and compulsive shopping. I could see how that behavior was destructive to them and felt they were passing it on to me. The fact that your son intervened (and politely as he could for what is ostensibly a rude action) is saying something. You as parents need to have another talk with the ILs about how overboard they are and talk about other healthier ways for them to express affection their grandchild. At this point, your ILs are rude too. PPs who haven't seen this played out may not really understand.[/quote]
