Speaker 1 (00:00):
Has anybody ever tried to shove a collectible on you? No,
maybe I don't think I'm explaining that right because I
don't think I painted that correctly for you.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
That's my fault.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Like, get me to purchase some, Dear.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Carolyn, Okay, this will better explain it. Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I am the youngest of five sons, and I'm newly
married more than fifteen years ago. My mom created a
tradition with her first daughter in law of starting her
a collection of like figurines and special dinnerware. My mom
gives the collectibles for birthdays, Christmas, and Easter. She does
(00:47):
it for all of her daughters in law. My wife
is essentially a minimalist. She'd prefer no gifts or gifts
that are experiences are useful. She doesn't even have a
wedding ring. My mom asked her to pick a collectible.
My wife asked if it could be a theme like
(01:07):
gardening or knitting interest that they share that could be useful.
My mom said no, it had to be a figurine
or dinnerware. My wife and I individually have thanked my
mom for her generosity and explained collectibles just aren't our thing.
(01:29):
My wife didn't choose a collectible. We've been married one
year and my mom has given my wife three pieces
of a Christmas village that she expects us to display
all year long, and is refusing to come to our
house because my wife is quote being disrespectful and condescending.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Oh h, what are you supposed to do there? The
rest of us, the rest of the family. Mind, you
have told them just go along with it. Yeah, just
go along.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
I kind of agree with that.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Just accept it and move on.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
It's it's creating. I know it's a.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Point, but you still have to display it.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
I know it's a pain in the ass, but just do.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
It, okay, But that's you don't want it at that point.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
It's I'm getting three gifts a year. I know, I'm
three years away from hoarding right for Birthday and Easter.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
You're still getting Christmas stuff.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Which means she just buys as much as she can
in January and then just doles it out.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
What are you with the greeting cards? But what are
you supposed to do? Why you want the husband to
talk to his moham? Well he did, but she's she said, uh,
tough titty to talk to him again. I feel like
it is a case where his sister got to suck
it up. Yeah, but you don't want to suck it up.
Speaker 5 (02:53):
I know, but you you do things all the time
that you don't necessarily want to do just to keep
the peace.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
But I'm an adult, I know.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
See.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
At first I was thinking this is somebody who maybe inherited. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
No, no, no no no no.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Now they have they know they have at least as
long as this woman lives a lifetime of Christmas Village.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yes, and so so I'm supposed to keep it in
a box until she decides she's going to come visit,
and then I have to put it out. What about
when she facetimes and is like, oh hey, let me
see the village. I locked myself out, Elliott, you're in
the living room.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Now that being said, is this a common thing? Is
this a common thing specifically for not not even just
being not no, just in general, not even where it's
being forced on you, but just in general, where like
you always get like to me, that's a horrible gift
of like, oh we always get you.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Figurines.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
I don't even know what that would be I as common.
But I also bet some people embrace it and like it. Yeah, like,
but is it to look forward to it every year?
Speaker 7 (04:04):
Like?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
To me, it's a bit of a trade. It's it's
not a tradition though. I guess maybe if you like it,
it is, uh like jack like for example, example example, Jackie,
her sister, and her mom all all exchange for the
holidays something that has the same theme to it. It's
(04:25):
not like they choose it, like, hey, this year's theme
is brat pack.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
They choose like it's the same thing every year every year.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Okay, but they choose to do that, and they're not
pushing it on anybody.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
But you know that that's going to be a gift
that you're going to get.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
No, I know that's a gift that Jackie's gonna get
this year. It's credit monitoring. But that's different, different, that's
different to me. This has to keep with the same theme.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Yes, I love the wife even gave the mother in
lawn alternative an idea, how about just right?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
And it's an alternative that the mom also likes doing
so they would both have gardening in common. And the
mom said, no again, tough titty, you are going to
get Chris, I'll pick it. Well, fine, I'll pick it
myself Christmas Village, because.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I feel like that would have been the advice.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
See if you can find something that you have a
shared interest in that can be a broader category. Though,
and now you're stuck buying a folding table.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
I just I've never heard of it. First of all,
I've never heard of that being a thing.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Where it's in the annual giving of same. But it's
not even the annual for her. For them, it's three
times Easter are a spring Christmas. I guess however, I
guess you could do.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Once a year, but even that would annoy me to
no end.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Matthew, please do not poke the bear. It's not Josh's
time to shine. He blew it when he spoke up
last break.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Am I going to line one? Oh?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
The other thing is that I was going to say is,
first of all, I've never heard Thank god, I've never
had somebody push collectibles on me. Number two, Is this
a thing? And if it is, does everybody who receive
them go?
Speaker 2 (06:31):
I hate it? I just suck it up. No, you
think there's people that like it? Definitely?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, because what if it's well, that's assuming that this
goes on with people.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
This may be the way that some parents slowly get
rid of and downsize their own collections, whatever they may be.
Right where you start receiving a piece, it's not the
same thing because they're all different. But my mom does
this with Christmas ornaments. She every year sends them to us,
and they're from her tree as they either don't decorate
(07:02):
as much, or they just do the front of the tree,
or they don't even decorate it all because they're traveling.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
So this would be like my kids getting nomes.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Yes, but it doesn't be Christmas. We keep going back
to Christmas.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Well, that's a natural gift giving time and receive it
thank you by the which is far greater than giving.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Thank you to Jonathan, who points out, and it's gonna
spoil my surprise for tomorrow. But tomorrow is Elliott's half birthday.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yes it is, Yes, it is, thank you Jonathan for Jonathan.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Do we have to celebrate half birthdays?
Speaker 1 (07:38):
Now?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You know what's funny? Is that?
Speaker 1 (07:41):
So tomorrow night it's yes, no, no, no, But tomorrow
we're taking my younger one out for dinner, like a
going away dinner. And when they go, is it a
special celebration I'm gonna steel it half birthday.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Oh is there a child, No, it's for me, the adult.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
You know, the one that would breach. Don't run my card?
Speaker 1 (07:59):
Well, I better pay can That's how Jonathan found out.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
I'm sorry, Hi, Elliot the morning man.
Speaker 8 (08:08):
I'm jealous of collectibles because at least they're small. My
father in law finds crap and now that it's basically retired,
just refinishes it and brings that as gifts. I have
a card catalog from a library that was discarded that
he refinished in the middle of my living room. Like
(08:29):
the Dewey decimal system that you had to learn in kindergarten.
Is a quote unquote display piece in my living room
and I can't get rid of it.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
Unless my house burns down.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It's just with me.
Speaker 9 (08:49):
Drove it.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
He drove it halfway across the country, and all I
can say is thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
All right, dude, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
My name is Melville Dewey. I'n't heard that song in forever. Hi,
Elli in the morning.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Hey, good morning. How are you.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Hey, I'm doing great. Who's this this?
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Nancy?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yes? Nancy? Wait, go ahead.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
So she should combine this with their gardening thing. She
should put these outrit gnomes in the garden. They're on
display year round. What a beautiful way to share everything
that she's given us catalog.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I know in that great there'll be no room for
the garden though, because I got a whole Christmas village
growing out there.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Well more reason to say, come on over and enjoy
the have a garden for you by the way.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Would would it be? Thank you, ma'am? Great suggestion? Would
this work though?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
If you displayed them in a way where it essentially
looked like you had just left trash out? Would they
would they get it at that point and go or
at that point did they get mad and.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Go what's this doing outside?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
No, like honestly display them like they're supposed to be
on display.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You need to learn displaying skills.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
People really didn't agree with us sucking it up Facebook. No,
your mother in law does not get to dictate your life.
That's from Cheryl. Laura says, stand your ground, Tricia, it's
my house, my sanctuary, Susan. She even offered a compromise,
this will never end now.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Well, that part's true, right, So we're not supposed to
suck it up this seemed like an easy one.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, but I mean, but again, all those people are right.
I mean, if you, if you, if you separate yourself
from it, they're right. I pay the mortgage. Here, this
is my house. This is where my family, no matter
if it's just me and my wife, are kids, I
don't know what they're dealing, but this is this is
our this is our home. Who are you, whether it's
(10:52):
your mom or your mother in law, who are you.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
To dictate what I do? That is the sentiment here. Wow,
I just thought, let's keep the peace. Hmm.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
But but but are they remembering the mom said that
she won't see them? Well yeah, no, I mean for
a lot of people, that's a big deal. Right Wait
I hear that and go okay, But for a lot
of people, that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
If you're if you listen, if if.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
My kids said you can't come see me, I wouldn't
even I couldn't breathe after that.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
And that refusal to visit was based on the attitude
of the daughter in law. Correct, it was her pushing
back on this or giving other suggestions. So you're already
in a tense situation. Now it's like, all right, just.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Now yes, now you get well. No, it's my my home,
sweet home, my domain. Hi Ellie at the morning.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Good morning, Elliott.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I am doing well. Who's this?
Speaker 6 (11:58):
It doesn't matter who is?
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Thanks for the T shirt though, I know.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
I First of all, hey, I so enjoy you. You
sound like Shaggy on Scooby Doo. We love Scooby Doo.
But you're starting, Oh my god, it's like you're pushing
the annoying button.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Honey.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
There are some people that love Christmas. They go to
the Hallmark stores when they were in business. They buy
everything Christmasy, honey, even if they don't need it. My
sisters with us.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yes, I'm sorry, that's that's unfortunate.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
You know who it is, baby, But I'm just going,
you know, my sister, she would buy it all, Honey.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
She's no longer here, and.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
I'm going, oh god, he's pushing the freaking annoying button.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
No.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Fu.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
You know you gotta suck up sometimes, Elliott. We all do.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Oh I didn't. Yeah no, I mean Diana and Tyler
were the ones that were saying suck it up.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, yeah, no, no.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
No, we all have to suck it up, believe me.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So you're saying that that you do it because one
day you won't have the person.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I may not like the freaking village. It might make
me want to bar, but I'll do it to keep
the peace, Hondy, I would do it.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I hear you. And the other thing, Hey, thank you baby,
good to talk to you. I'm glad you called. But
the other the other part is, oh, did you want
me to see she was breached?
Speaker 7 (13:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But the other part is, and this is kind of
where where she alluded with her sister, what the day
will come when you can no longer get that gift,
that village stops growing, not out of anger, beautifully put thank.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You, thank you.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Meanwhile, here's Melissa Mala breach. She writes, no way it
would jack up my farmhouse chic vibe.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Line two Hi in the morning, one two three four.
Speaker 9 (14:05):
Hey, how they're ready doing good?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
What's going on?
Speaker 9 (14:08):
You have to set that. You have to set the
president that anytime something comes over and it gets left
within twenty four hours, it hits the trash can. And uh,
my mother in law tried to pawn off muppet VHS
tapes that were so worn out. I mean it's like
(14:28):
I just can't have it in my house. You just
gotta just basically say you don't bring your junk over here,
like you can discard it, right, yeah you can.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah no, but these aren't these aren't old hand me downs.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I bought you this uh this piece from the uh
Christmas village.
Speaker 9 (14:45):
You know what, then we'll sell it on Facebook marketplace
so someone else.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So you're a no dice. It ain't happening, not on
my watch. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (14:59):
I I would not bring something to my mother in
law's house and say I want you to display this, right.
It's like I'm not going to bring like a taxidermy
deerhead and say, hey, put this stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
On your wall, right, all right? I hear you.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Thank you, Melissa Molay, thank you,
Has anybody ever tried to shove a collectible on you? No,
maybe I don't think I'm explaining that right because I
don't think I painted that correctly for you.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
That's my fault.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Like, get me to purchase some, Dear.
Speaker 2 (00:15):

(08:29):
the Dewey decimal system that you had to learn in kindergarten.
Is a quote unquote display piece in my living room
and I can't get rid of it.
Speaker 9 (08:41):
Unless my house burns down.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
It's just with me.
Speaker 9 (08:49):
Drove it.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
He drove it halfway across the country, and all I
can say is thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
All right, dude, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Hi.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
My name is Melville Dewey. I'n't heard that song in forever. Hi,
Elli in the morning.
Speaker 7 (09:05):
Hey, good morning. How are you.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Hey, I'm doing great. Who's this this?
Speaker 7 (09:09):
Nancy?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yes? Nancy? Wait, go ahead.
Speaker 7 (09:14):
So she should combine this with their gardening thing. She
should put these outrit gnomes in the garden. They're on
display year round. What a beautiful way to share everything
that she's given us catalog.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
I know in that great there'll be no room for
the garden though, because I got a whole Christmas village
growing out there.
Speaker 7 (09:38):
Well more reason to say, come on over and enjoy
the have a garden for you by the way.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Would would it be? Thank you, ma'am? Great suggestion? Would
this work though?
Speaker 1 (09:47):
If you displayed them in a way where it essentially
looked like you had just left trash out? Would they
would they get it at that point and go or
at that point did they get mad and.
Speaker 3 (09:56):
Go what's this doing outside?
Speaker 2 (09:58):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
No, like honestly display them like they're supposed to be
on display.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
You need to learn displaying skills.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
People really didn't agree with us sucking it up Facebook. No,
your mother in law does not get to dictate your life.
That's from Cheryl. Laura says, stand your ground, Tricia, it's
my house, my sanctuary, Susan. She even offered a compromise,
this will never end now.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Well, that part's true, right, So we're not supposed to
suck it up this seemed like an easy one.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Yeah, but I mean, but again, all those people are right.
I mean, if you, if you, if you separate yourself
from it, they're right. I pay the mortgage. Here, this
is my house. This is where my family, no matter
if it's just me and my wife, are kids, I
don't know what they're dealing, but this is this is
our this is our home. Who are you, whether it's
(10:52):
your mom or your mother in law, who are you.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
To dictate what I do? That is the sentiment here. Wow,
I just thought, let's keep the peace. Hmm.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
But but but are they remembering the mom said that
she won't see them? Well yeah, no, I mean for
a lot of people, that's a big deal. Right Wait
I hear that and go okay, But for a lot
of people, that's a big deal.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
If you're if you listen, if if.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
My kids said you can't come see me, I wouldn't
even I couldn't breathe after that.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
And that refusal to visit was based on the attitude
of the daughter in law. Correct, it was her pushing
back on this or giving other suggestions. So you're already
in a tense situation. Now it's like, all right, just.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Now yes, now you get well. No, it's my my home,
sweet home, my domain. Hi Ellie at the morning.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
Good morning, Elliott.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
How you doing?
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I am doing well. Who's this?
Speaker 6 (11:58):
It doesn't matter who is?
Speaker 7 (12:00):
Thanks for the T shirt though, I know.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
No, no, no, no no.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
I First of all, hey, I so enjoy you. You
sound like Shaggy on Scooby Doo. We love Scooby Doo.
But you're starting, Oh my god, it's like you're pushing
the annoying button.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
Honey.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
There are some people that love Christmas. They go to
the Hallmark stores when they were in business. They buy
everything Christmasy, honey, even if they don't need it. My
sisters with us.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Yes, I'm sorry, that's that's unfortunate.
Speaker 6 (12:30):
You know who it is, baby, But I'm just going,
you know, my sister, she would buy it all, Honey.
Speaker 7 (12:37):
She's no longer here, and.
Speaker 6 (12:38):
I'm going, oh god, he's pushing the freaking annoying button.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
No.
Speaker 5 (12:42):
Fu.
Speaker 6 (12:42):
You know you gotta suck up sometimes, Elliott. We all do.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Oh I didn't. Yeah no, I mean Diana and Tyler
were the ones that were saying suck it up.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah, yeah, no, no.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
No, we all have to suck it up, believe me.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
So you're saying that that you do it because one
day you won't have the person.
Speaker 6 (13:02):
I may not like the freaking village. It might make
me want to bar, but I'll do it to keep
the peace, Hondy, I would do it.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I hear you. And the other thing, Hey, thank you baby,
good to talk to you. I'm glad you called. But
the other the other part is, oh, did you want
me to see she was breached?
Speaker 7 (13:19):
No.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
But the other part is, and this is kind of
where where she alluded with her sister, what the day
will come when you can no longer get that gift,
that village stops growing, not out of anger, beautifully put thank.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
You, thank you.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Meanwhile, here's Melissa Mala breach. She writes, no way it
would jack up my farmhouse chic vibe.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Line two Hi in the morning, one two three four.
Speaker 9 (14:05):
Hey, how they're ready doing good?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
What's going on?
Speaker 9 (14:08):
You have to set that. You have to set the
president that anytime something comes over and it gets left
within twenty four hours, it hits the trash can. And uh,
my mother in law tried to pawn off muppet VHS
tapes that were so worn out. I mean it's like
(14:28):
I just can't have it in my house. You just
gotta just basically say you don't bring your junk over here,
like you can discard it, right, yeah you can.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah no, but these aren't these aren't old hand me downs.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I bought you this uh this piece from the uh
Christmas village.
Speaker 9 (14:45):
You know what, then we'll sell it on Facebook marketplace
so someone else.
Speaker 2 (14:54):
So you're a no dice. It ain't happening, not on
my watch. Yeah.
Speaker 9 (14:59):
I I would not bring something to my mother in
law's house and say I want you to display this, right.
It's like I'm not going to bring like a taxidermy
deerhead and say, hey, put this stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
On your wall, right, all right? I hear you.
Speaker 9 (15:13):
Very good.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
Thank you, Melissa Molay, thank you,

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
