[quote=Anonymous]This is a hateful thread. She is giving you things because she is thinking of your family. It may be a misdirected action but the sentiment is not misplaced. There is something called grace. If you cannot change a situation for the better then the graceful thing is to accept it with a smile and a "thank you". You can distribute the food, distribute the clothes, donate it etc. The issue seems more that OPs house is a mess and any thing more that comes to her house triggers a stress response in her. Ask your MIL - would she be willing to chip in some money to get you a professional organizer? Share your concern about how your house is cluttered and you want to declutter it. These are genuine concerns - but not worth alienating your MIL. And how do you think your DH feels about it? Do you think that he thinks you are a nice person or does he think you are a mean person? Do not create unneccessary tensions in your family![/quote]
