[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents and ILs do tend to run things past us for the big gifts but they don't always let us know before they actually buy it.  I don't really care so much who gives the gifts but if it's something big or expensive, I just want to make sure that no one else is already getting it.  I do have a "rule" that they need to run anything by me that is a big toy.  We have limited space in my house so I want to either clear a space for anything requires a lot of room or plan to get rid of something else to accommodate.  I think that is common courtesy though.

Yeah, my mom will ask before she buys anything that's large in size, because she knows that we don't have a ton of extra space, which I appreciate.  She'll ask for ideas, but it's understood that wish lists are not binding.  I suppose I would care about it if they were considering something really expensive or potentially something I might want to hold off on, like their own iPad or something, but I kind of feel like they would ask anyways before buying something like that.  Otherwise, I don't care, and if they want to buy big-ticket gifts, more power to them.  I'd rather they buy the bike than me.  If they were buying too much stuff, we'd have a chat, but so far it hasn't been a problem (knock on wood).  [/quote]
