Input: AITA for setting a limit on giving Christmas gifts to my children (2Y &amp; NB) from their grandparents. 

We have asked every year that please do not buy our children lots of presents. We limit it to 4 presents where as an outfit (Top, bottom, socks) counts as 1 gift and the rest of the items (toys, books, shoes, etc...) count as 1. We don’t have a lot of room and don’t want our children to expect lots of gifts every year. We believe that Christmas is more about spending time with Family and not about how many gifts to give or receive. Also, we mention no large items. Again, we don’t have the room. 

My parents reluctantly give in to our demands, but my in-law (MIL) has a hard time following these guidelines. She flat out said I do not think I will be able to do this. 

Now, to give a little background. In the past, my parents would give around 10-15 gifts for their grandchildren. That’s a lot to me. They did the same to my siblings and myself growing up. Don’t get me wrong, I thank them for all they have provided but to me it’s too much. As for my MIL, she will give upwards of 40 gifts per grandchild and about 20 gifts to children and significant others. Not even all of the gifts are even wrapped. The gifts would range from little toys to playstations tp TV to MacBook and such. She would easily spend 15k-20k on Christmas alone and who knows what else during the year. 

So last year, my parents gave our daughter the 4 gifts but added a few extra items in her stocking. I was fine with that. My MIL gave 12 wrapped gifts, all with multiple items inside. So, I got up early and hid half the gifts so my daughter wouldn’t seen them. So it looked like she only bought 6. 

I know she has a spending problem. My wife’s siblings all say just accept the gifts and get rid of them when you get home or just give them a list of what you want so you don’t get crap. This goes for both themselves and their children. Last year, I just did not accept any gifts from her to me. My wife receive about 4 or 5 gifts plus a gift card. We both got significantly less than the others. I only ask because this year she mentioned that wasn’t able to do Christmas gifts this thanksgiving, we rotate holidays with my family and my wife’s, and that she will be mailing them to us. 

AITA for limiting gifts and refusing any that over the limit?
