[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the solution is to be direct if you want him to contribute to a meal: "hey Older Brother, can you please bring a bottle of wine or a dessert to dinner on Saturday?" And I'd scale back your own gift giving. Kids just don't need a ton of gifts from aunts and uncles. Buy smaller things for nephew. Maybe he just doesn't like the Forced Exchange of Stuff that Christmas and birthdays have become. [/quote] This. And it's odd that anyone is offended by his lack of gift-giving--it's not like his behavior changed or he is singling anyone else out. There's no reason to take it personally. And if the people who are actually bothered by it aren't willing to say anything to him, then it's their problem. [/quote]
