Family advice
Hi, my inlaws who we have nothing to do with keep sending gifts to our kids but we have told them to stop but they won’t. Things are bwyond repair and my dh doesnt want any contact with them. Our dds are 7 & 2. My youngest doesnt know who they are and my oldest says she doesnt want gifts from them as they never see her. Anyway, the last present that was delivered my dh left it on their door step and yesterday another parcel was delivered. Again dh is going to leave it on their door step. Is there anything we can do? His mum Is a total control freak and extremely manipulative and wants the final say in everything.

Just pop them into your bin if useless or donate to charity shop if can be used by someone else - no point returning them if all it does is score points

Charity shop or Christmas toy collection?
|
I would go with Christmas toy collection. B&M and Tesco do them
|
Tell the kids they are from you or Santa, stick them in the charity box at the supermarket or sell them on Facebook and stick the money in the kids accounts for the future.

Unless your in laws are a risk to the children it sounds as though you are being the manipulative one, not the in laws. Subject to the at risk comment, it is very nasty to use your children to hurt others and not allow them to have contact with their grandparents.

Donate to a local children's ward at Christmas. Save them up through the year and get the kids involved so They are aware of children less fortunate.
Take care of yourselves. This obviously want an easy decision so be kind to yourselves xx |
B&M or Salvation Army
