Mother-in-law dumps old junk on new couple under the guise of helping them settle into new home, daughter-in-law puts her foot down on the increasing clutter: "I don't want to live in a museum curated by my MIL"

Moving into a new place with your partner comes with all sorts of mixed feelings. On one hand, it's a new beginning. You're in a totally new space, unclouded by the lingering energy from an old argument or the memories of a recipe gone horribly wrong. If you have any doubts, you can always burn some sage. Still, you know that it's going to be a while before your new place starts to actually feel like it's actually yours. It takes a lot of time and money to acquire all of the furniture, appliances, and knick-knacks necessary to turn a house into a home.

In our story today, a couple receive quite a few donations from their mother-in-law to "help" them get settled in their new house. On the surface, MIL seems incredibly generous and caring, but most of the items that she gifts them are barely usable, contributing more so to clutter than to the couple's comfort. When our protagonist asks her to stop, she is accused of being ungrateful – but what do you think?
