would this be tacky?
Isabel's birthday is next month. She has way too many toys and more than enough clothes. Would it be bad if I asked family to not buy her anything? If they want to give her something they can pay for a month of her dance lessons, or the shoes and outfits she will need for them.

CRAFTY ME
my read shelf:
If it's family I think it's fine. I personally ask what the parent wants us to get anyways but I know not everyone does that.
Was it you that had a relative or mil that bought her a bedding set that didn't even match her room?

my read shelf:
Yeah that was me. And that was my aunt so I wouldn't even try to tell her what to get Isabel.
Also if say my MIL would pay for the dance classes that would include her being able to come and watch Isabel take them each week. Isn't that better than giving Isabel a whole bunch of plastic stuff that I have to throw away cause Isabel breaks them or they are too small to have around the baby.
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
Not at all. ?MIL was asking the same for Campbell's birthday (next week
). ?This is my exact response:?
?
"Campbell has more than everything he needs - he is bursting at the seams with stuff.? Instead, what Mike and I think would really be meaningful is a gift to his college education fund."
?
She always buys him stuff (cr*p) that I promptly put in the donate the charity pile. ?Hopefully she'll get the hint.
