I’ve posted about my MIL before giving us tons of unwanted “gifts” for dd that are either unsuitable or not to our taste and how the sheer volume of stuff is overwhelming. We always accept the gifts gratefully and take a picture of dd with them before putting them in the charity shop pile.
She offered to buy dd a 2nd toy box to keep all the (age inappropriate) toys she’s bought her in, we said there was no need and we’d get one ourselves but she insisted, we showed her the type we’ve already got, it’s a plastic box that DD can reach into and was only £6.99 from B&M.
Today she turned up with a set of cheap looking plastic drawers, DH said to her that they weren’t suitable because dd would try to climb them and pull them over and I mentioned that we’d had some similar ages ago but we’d got rid of them because they were wobbly. She immediately got back in the car screaming and shouting about how she’s had enough and she’d take them back (she won’t, they’ll sit in her living room so she can tell everyone how ungrateful we are).
