[QUOTE="totoro, post: 132719, member: 3155"] To take something is so hard... even if it is done out of Love and for all of the right reasons... we were taught not to take. Especially those of us who were raised... on welfare, or dirtpoor. And to give, it feels OH SO GOOD!!! So you have to leave those feeling aside. We all know you are not a greedy person!!! As does she I am sure!!! I have had to struggle with this one with my mother in law for years now. They have a lot of money... and I feel they should be doing better things with it, than buying the girls, frilly dresses that will send send them into sensory overload and cost, umm way too much. And during the winter here in Idaho!!! What, to go look at Moose poop...? But husband and I have gotten into it... and he says, but it makes them feel good. I would say, but they could be giving to the poor or helping research... I would go into a tizzy... about the wrongs and the rights of it all!!! This went on for years... Silly me! I am better now. You know what, it is their money and it does make them feel good, and it is harmless. Much like in your case... My In-laws love us and this is how they show they love us... they love us. She is giving you something she knows means a lot to you, at least she has put a LOT of thought into it!!! She means well. I had to s-uck it up and just take the gifts now, and you know what? We donate them... because my in-laws would never know... it is the act of giving that makes them feel good!!! We have been donating the stuff for years and they never have a clue.... Quick picture and gone!!! THe girls love it also!!! I hope you go and I hope you have a WONDERFUL time!!!! [/QUOTE]
