GPs came round yesterday with our kids Christmas presents. 1 of the gifts was an 8ft trampoline. We don't have a huge garden and it will frankly get in the way. Kids are 3 and 6.
I have a strained relationship with them as it is. I had previously told my mum I didn't want a big trampoline, they're noisy which isn't good for our relations with our neighbours and they're huge when space is an issue.
They came round when we were on holiday in the summer and built a smaller trampoline (but still an awkward size) without our knowledge. They didn't have access to the house, just came in the garden and did it. We discovered it when we got home at 2am.
My mum has form for buying things all the time and she has many duplicate toys in their attic. They have a huge garden and they have probably had this new trampoline in their garage for a long long time.
They used to look after our kids until their dog bit my then 2 year old on the face over a year ago and we haven't been back since. They told us at the time that the dog bit our youngest but now the story has changed over the months and our child now fell into a door. This definitely did not happen.
There are boundary and respect issues.
Anyway me and DH do not want this trampoline and I'm pissed off about it as it's yet another example of them not respecting my choices. The kids have seen it and want it obviously. I have told my mum previously I don't want it. They won't be able to return it because they will have had it for ages. I have daughter guilt about giving it back to them but my mum will be pissed and will think it's another example of me being difficult.
DH thinks we should keep it out of obligation. I feel annoyed they've done this to me again.
It'll start whole host of animosity and anger if I give them it back.
WWYD?
