leash - cos I live with a cranky bum - so your cranky bumness doesn't require me picking you up and carting you all around the house. Thats why

We told the IL's no xmas presents for DS - first year of his life - all these presents - all toys... People are just gonna get you whatever the hell they want, not what you have asked them to do.

Do a good deed - donate them to the salvos or something

Ah Mel, I'm cracking up at the image of me handing back the toys to MIL (who works at the Red Cross shop).

Leash, hun, I so understand your vent! We told IL's that we were getting DD & DS2 bikes for christmas, so what do they do??? Go and get them bikes! Stupid f***ing idiots! Plus they brought them up TWO MONTHS AGO!!!!! Funny thing is, we don't have a flat yard so the kids don't ride them anyway

They've also told us that they've gone crazy buying stuff for the two little ones, but we have the same prob - they just buy ***** that breaks in 5 minutes and they buy crappy clothes too!! MIL even tried buying me clothes once - rocked up to our house with a couple hundred $$$ worth of clothes IN HER STYLE!!! Come on, guys, I'm not in my 50's!!!

Truth be told, I'm very pedantic in what I wear, and also what my kids wear and play with! So much stuff has been either chucked or donated!
