And then another bag of clothes.

Like, it's just so over the top that we feel like we're competing with her for our own kids.

They are six, four and one and a half.

So our six-year-old is getting to the age where he could make comments and notice.

I didn't grow up with that big of a Christmas, but I still woke up on Christmas morning excited for my parents' Christmas.

And my husband's on the same page.

We both feel like we're missing out on giving our own kids the magic of Christmas.

So it's a little bit of that, but it's also like when we bring it into our house, it's just so much stuff.

Like there's stuff that she got them last year that I don't think was ever played with.

Like I probably took it down to our storage in a tote months later without it being played with very much.

I don't feel like, I mean, at the beginning of our marriage, my husband had to set up like a lot of guardrails and he's had a lot of like hard conversations, but I don't feel like they really do anymore.

We have a really good relationship with them.

Then that leads me to the third thing, which is if, if I guess he definitely tries to sometimes, but my husband is willing to put her back in her place.

Somewhat.

I mean, I think my husband, I didn't grow up with anywhere near this.

Christmas is like, I think the first year I was in this family, she spent more money on me than my parents usually do at Christmas.

So that was shocking.

But yeah,

I think he kind of wanted to be able to give our kids like the shell shock that he normally got walking down on Christmas.

And now like they get more shocked from his parents.
