[quote=Anonymous]DH told his mom to get less gifts EVERY year, and she says she will, but it was still like 25 gifts per kid for many years. At some point we compromised and asked her to only get 2-3 larger gifts and then a stocking full of smaller ones. And it was still double that, but it got better. We ended up donating a lot of it, and have dropped her hints here and there that we end up donating a lot of the things that the kids get because we don't have the room. When she asks about a gift, and we donated it, we tell her we donated it. I've also told her I donate an entire carload of toys and other kid stuff every season. The kids are now around age 10 so the gifts have slowed down significantly, either because of age, or MIL understands after 10 years of reminders to get less gifts every year. [/quote]
