Is this bad?

in February 2013 Moms
Last night we had Christmas with DH's grandparents. They have a habit of just buying whatever they see that they think the kids might like (and this is all year long, not just at holidays/birthdays). DD and DS both got these super loud, singing, dancing stuffed animals. They are so loud I think DD might actually be scared of them (I haven't played them for her yet). We have so little space in our small house, and they will still be getting tons of gifts yet. I really don't want to take up space with fairly large stuffed animals that will probably never get played with. Is it bad to just donate them right them away?

    We have left things at their house before. I wish I would've thought of it this time. There was just so much stuff everywhere, and DH took all our gifts out to the car right away to make room. They seriously already have TONS more toys than we do. They also have a much bigger house, but his grandma goes yard saling every weekend during the summer and will buy almost anything. It's kind of ridiculous.

    Can you take pictures of your kids with them before you donate? Then you could say they got "lost."

    If you don't want to even open them, I have donated things before they were opened too.  My aunt got C a baby doll that was just HIDEOUS one year-- the same year I had told everyone I was getting her the American Girl Bitty Twins.  I donated the doll before it was even unwrapped.  And I was upset at my aunt because I had specifically told everyone not to get her babydolls.  So it was blatantly against my wishes.

    Gah.  I hate these kinds of situations.  My mom is the queen of guilt trips so I could never just donate it right off, and she remembers the big gifts she gets for DS. 

    I will say, when she buys annoying toys for DS, I make sure they get hidden most of the time, and then they go with us or will be out when we visit her/she visits us.  Because the buyer of such things should have to suffer the consequences.  Maybe keep it for a bit (can you keep them in your car trunk?), make sure it goes with you when you go to her house, and then when it finally doesn't show up she will be so relieved she won't ask about it.  ;)
