Sigh. Before we start this, I feel like a brat. Just to preface this shortened problem. In short, my FMIL gets a free set of knives with her cookware purchase. She calls me and tells me to take my knives off my registry because she has already "bought" us our wedding present - a full set of knives. This is fine. If she wants to give us a set of knives she got for free as our wedding gift, then okay. She is rich, but frugal and I get her thinking to some degree. I think it goes: "I have these knives; they need knives! Problem solved."
I don't think it is: "I don't want to buy those Em effer's a present. Here's a free newspaper I got outside" The focal point of my irritation is telling me to take something we want off our registry because you got us a present that we did not register for. Actually not even that, I'd actually agree to do this for almost anything but knives.We have both lived on our own for years, so we have almost everything. The only thing I was super excited about registering for is the completion of my amazing RADA cutlery set. Good knives are so necessary.Anyways, am I being a ridiculous brat if I don't take them off? Your honest, but tactful non-rude advice would be so appreciated.
