[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The upset people should TELL him, for God's sake. As in: "Son, [b]we raised you to be observant of social niceties. [/b]One of them is giving a thoughtful gift for the host when invited to dinner. It's upsetting to us that you keep taking from everyone yet never reciprocate. Here are recent examples: X, Y, Z." Gifts are such a meaningless gesture among close family, honestly, I can well understand why he doesn't do it. But if people in your family care about that sort of thing, then they need to TALK.[/quote] Well, obviously they didn't, did they? I mean, if they had, he'd be doing it. Based on the facts, it appears that they raised him to believe that it's the wife/mom's job to handle this stuff, and to assume that his wife would take care of these things. Now that he has no wife, he's not giving gifts. [/quote]
