[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are not spoiled. I was in the same shoes with all my IL. They would buy tons of plastic tacky stuff for holidays.  Like 10 presents for each child. I don't like throwing stuff away, especially after child opened it and liked it. But on another hand, I didn't like made in China plastic toys and preferred few wooden, hand crafted toys for my kids. They also would buy plastic or vinyl shoes with heels for girls and we always would have a fight with kids when they want to where them everywhere. Polyester Disney PJ, and the list is going on.

Yes, cake from the store is wrong when mom is conscious about what her children eat. I dont' buy my kids stuff from cheap bakery with bright icing and canola oil in it. So I would be pissed of too if she would bring something like that to my child.

From my experience, the only thing that was able to stop them is us moving away. It didn't stop completely, but definetly reduced the amount of gifts that they can only mail now. And we downsized, so they know we don't have room anymore for large toys. And I am so happy that no one trashing my house with made in China crap. [/quote]
