[quote=Anonymous]OP: to all the posters who said, "just be grateful!" -- they do not know what you are going thru. MIL is NOT being generous-- she is indulging herself with your kids. You have told her what you think/would like and she is completely disregarded that. Use your savvy, and remember they are your kids; they do not need a plastic kitchen, ect. It broke/was dangerous is an unassailable arguement. (So many plastic things from China are questionable, bikes break, stuff happens to toys, etc) I know it is very hard when you are struggling financially, as we were, when the DCs were young, to send some expensive thing away, but think of the joy it will bring a poor kid who gets it from a charity. Passive agressive becomes beautiful gift -- for someone else. Best of luck. It is unlikely that your DH will understand. It is a guy thing with their moms.[/quote]
