[quote=Anonymous]I was prepared to think "Oh, OP just needs to let it go." But I would have been very unhappy about the kitchen. I pick my battles, but that's something I would have addressed simply by telling her the truth and asking her to take your feelings into consideration. No need to be dramatic or have a fight. "I was really excited about the play kitchen I'd picked out for DD's birthday. I'm disappointed that now I can't give her the gift I'd chosen, and frustrated that I have to find another gift. I wish you would reconsider and let me and DH know what you have in mind for gifts so we can avoid circumstances like this in the future." I know a lot of people on DCUM say that DH's need to deal with their families, and in a perfect world that would happen. Sometimes, though, it's best to just be direct. [/quote]
