[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP bumping this back up. SIL has now sent three texts, 2 emails, and 1 call (all since 10pm last night) to ask if we got the latest installment on friday b/c she has been following the tracking. well, we did, but haven't opened it yet. so, she sent another snarky email saying that if it wasn't worth it to us, she wants to cancel b/c it costs money every month we keep it. Contrary to her telling me it is a 1 year subscription with a single payment, but whatever,

Just annoyed that this is continuing and continuing. [/quote]

Bloody annoying OP!!!

I'd take this as an opportunity.  "Dear SIL, I really appreciate you thinking of Daughter but if this subscription is expensive enough that you are this concerned about tracking every issue then I think perhaps I agree with you that you should cancel it.  Honestly, while the thought was lovely Daughter is a little young for the content and I'm not sure she will get sufficient enjoyment of it for the level of effort and concern it is requiring of you.  I also need to confess that there is no way I will be able to keep up with notifying you every time an issue arrives.  That isn't personal, just a reality of our day to day business.  So perhaps it's best if you just cancel it."

Let her get all ticked off and snarky - she sounds like a total PITA.  So what if she thinks you're ungrateful and rude.  If it takes you off her gift/harassment list that's a small price to pay right?!

Good luck.[/quote]
