Re: How do I tell my MIL to stop...
I HATE stuffed animals! All they do is collect dust! When I registered for my shower I posted "Please no stuffed animals, very bad allergies" While I am not allegeric to stuffed animals, I am allergic to dust and I didn't want to be bothered! I only got 2 at my shower!
You could tell her that while you appreciate the gift, your daughter doesn't really play with them but would really love __________.

I would tell her - than you are planning to start donating ALL of the stuffed animals that your DC is getting.

Mine keeps finding ones that belonged to DH and she cleans them and gives them to Charlie.

OMG my FIL does this. He actually wins them out of those machines, so I cannot even let DS play with them b/c I don't know who makes them, where they come from , etc. They are sitting in my attic in a bag. I have asked him a million times to stop getting them, but he insists that DS wants them.
It is his way of trying to show affection, so I just let it go & put them in the box in the attic.

My MIL used to buy them too, I went the brutal honesty route, and told her that I really did not like them, nor did I have the room for them.
