Has this mother-in-law taken it too far with her over-the-top gifts? The internet seems to think so...
Depending on your parenting style, you may or may not agree with this mom's social media rant.

The self-proclaimed 'Modern Mumma' posted a lengthy rant; she mentions that every time she suggests a gift for her kids to her mother-in-law, she triples it in size and noise level.

If we had to make a suggestion, we would say take the gifts with a huge smile on your face and make it disappear in time!
By the looks of it, the kids have no complaints, so sorry, mom, you have not won this one.
Can you relate to Mel's issue, be honest, we promise not to tell on you!
