[quote=Anonymous]OP, why isn't your husband dealing with this, instead of you?  They're his parents.  I would have thought you were a single mother until I got to the 4th page of this thread.

This is how you deal with unwanted gifts:
1) Thank the giver in person (shut up that you don't want it, that's where your son is rude)
2) Write a thank you note, no matter what
3) donate it or other clutter to make room for it at a later time

If your HUSBAND (prefered) or you would like to request that HIS parents stop giving you a certain type of gift, there are some families where that is possible.  But you've tried and it's obviously not going to happen here, so get over it.  Control what you can control: what stays in your house.

It's annoying to me that your child has obviously picked up on your distaste for this consumerism (I agree, it's not my style) and you are trying to argue that he's not being rude to his grandparents by refusing the gift, just because you don't want it or agree with him.[/quote]
