We've definitely noticed with our kids that they get grumpy and overwhelmed by too many presents. It's really difficult though, as you say, to push back on this. We've tried gently asking our family not to buy so much stuff. The result is A) they think we're oddballs B) they take offense and C) they ignore our request and continue to buy way too much junk.
- noneeeed 8y agoThe one advantage of living a reasonable distance from our families is that we get to use "we have to get it in the car" as an excuse for people buying us less. It at least tends to keep the size to a reasonable level.
