Enough is enough

Dear Queenie,

  My husband’s mother loves to go shopping and if she doesn’t need anything for herself she shops for gifts to give her grandchildren, not only for birthdays and Christmas, but all the time.

  We live in a small house and we don’t have enough space for all the things she gives us.

  Queenie, how can we get her to give us less?—Enough is enough

 

Dear Enough,

  For some people, excessive shopping and/or gift-giving is a way to relieve anxiety or depression, or to buy love.

  Thank your mother-in-law for her gifts and tell her you appreciate her thoughtfulness, but that you just do not have room for all the things she gives you, so you will donate the overflow to charity. Then do so.
