[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t you just be nice about the plates your husband’s sister gave your family, when it obviously makes your husband happy? Be nicer. [/quote] It is rude to give a gift that involves personal taste. Presumably OP already has dishes and if she doesn't she gets to chose what dishes she wants in her own house. Gifts can absolutely be passive aggressive. My SIL would bake her most decadent desserts for her friend who was so obese she had a heart attack and was put on a special diet. Being kind is a gift. Offering to help someone in a time of need is a gift. Making someone laugh is a gift or comforting someone who is sad. This relative imposed her taste on someone else. OP can donate it to someone who would appreciate it if her husband agrees. If he loves it, then come up with a compromise because he gets a say too.[/quote]
