I felt this way at the holidays. It's Xmas and them ds bday 3 days later. So I did a wish list on Amazon. It worked. I told everyone if they strayed it might get returned. People listened and those that didn't bought small.



I did the Amazon list too. Our apt is a decent size but we still need room for everything else we have. The REALLY big items that MIL and SIL bought we kept at my ILs house. We just don't have the room for it, we barely have room for what he has now.

I think we will try the wish list next year. We didnt do it this year because dd is still too young to tell us what she wants so we figured we'd let people pick out gifts for her. But we did ask very clearly to avoid large things. I guess mil thinks she doesn't have to respect our request.

Thanks for all the input. It helped me feel less guilty about having to return it Chat Icon Now hopefully she understands when we tell her.
