My daughter has just had her 2nd birthday and my in-laws bought several gifts all of which I have had to confiscate because the are inappropriate.
The worst example is a tea set (which my daughter loved for the few hours I let her play with it) which is made from porcelain and has some very small parts. According to the label it is not suitable for children under 8 years! After a few hours of playing many of the pieces are chipped or completely broken and very sharp.
I am really cross that I have had to confiscate all of the gifts they bought because none of them were suitable. The same thing happened last year when she bought a train suitable for a 3 year old for DD 1st birthday.
I have asked my DH to talk to his mum about it but he is very reluctant as he does not have that kind of relationship with her.
Any advice on how I should handle this?
