If things like the presents really annoy you that much, you take the thing bk round their house; they can play with those things whenever ur kids go there and when your parents ask you why (which they will) Just say u "have no room for it" No argument, play it like that. Your house, your rules. Don't let these niggling trivialities beat you down. I like your comment - "My parents love me but they don't like me" I know EXACTLY where u are comin from. Some ppl won't get it but unless you have felt that distant coldness yourself from your parents, then you will know. Of course, they will say its all in your mind. And make your blood boil inside at their sheer sarcastic ignorance, But I'm sure your intuition tells u otherwise, parents are strange. Love em, but don't really like them. Feelings mutual I suppose. Don't give them the upper hand, like they had telling you what to do all the time when u was younger, remember you are the adult now. And a parent yourself. What they didnt do right for you, make sure you fix that by bringing up your kids with the sort of love and friendship they need.
