[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I just want to let you know, I get it. My inlaws live locally and bring my DS new toys every time they see him (once a week). Literally. It's a bunch of old crap that my husband grew up with. I can't say anything because I'm really bad with tone (I know that sounds ridiculous, but my tone is transparent when I'm annoyed). DH is super direct (occasionally verging on rude, but not my problem!) with his parents and will be like "Mom, save that for Christmas. He doesn't need that right now." or something similar. I want my son to feel love and have toys and whatnot, but at a certain point I just feel sick of all the STUFF. It just feels so wasteful. [/quote]

OP, another vote of support, with 3 kids, local in-laws, and too much stuff (even after regular purges). I get piles of new, cheap toys and clothes from MIL regularly, and she seems to try to outbuy us for every birthday and holiday. Plus I get the demands, months out, for a list of gift ideas from MIL for both her and GMIL, when I haven't even figured out what I'm going to get them yet. I know, I know - first world problems, but at some point it's wasteful and just creates work for me no both ends. [/quote]
