Do you like your in-laws shopping for you and for items in your household?

Just this Saturday, my husband called his mom's cell phone number because he was trying to get in touch with his father. His father was not at home at that time, so my mother-in-law must have given him the message when he came back home. So, a couple of hours later, my father-in-law brought back Charmain toilet paper and Raid Roach and Ant Spray back to our house. Me or my husband never buy Charmain bath tissue at all. We buy another brand that has more sheets on it anyway. I talked to my husband about this last night, and he told me that toilet paper is toilet paper, it does not matter what kind that it is. He then went on to tell me that basics of us having to use a tree branch to wipe ourselves with, if we did not have toilet paper at home. His dad went and bought toilet tissue and he did not ask my husband, his son, what kind of toilet tissue that we use. My husband said that my in-laws use Charmain toilet tissue at their house too. Well, that does not mean that we use the same thing here too. I just don't like my father-in-law buying our personal things for our home. I told my husband that he should have went with his father when he went to the store to get our toilet paper for us. He said that he did not feel like going and also that it would have been a waste of gas for his father to pick him up and take him to the store, then bring him back home afterwards. I just don't like my in-laws shopping for our personal care items for us, especially when they buy something that we don't use, but yet they use instead. It was very generous of my father-in-law to buy toilet tissue for us, even if it came out of his own pocket. I am grateful, it is just that I feel very awkward whenever my father-in-law shops for things that we need, instead of us going with him to get it our ourselves instead. This is not the first time that my father-in-law has done this too. He has done this many of times before in the past. We don't have a car, but I feel like when it comes to our personal care items, we should be able to get it ourselves, not unless it is an emergency of some sort.
