[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You give the gifts you want to give your parents and you stay out of your brother's relationship with your parents. This is not your issue to manage. If your parents bring it up, you shrug and move on. Maybe others would disagree, but I think your family is the outlier in terms of the expense of your gifts to each other.[/quote] OP here. My parents are immigrants and in their culture, it’s typical for the adult children to lavish the parents with expensive gifts that the parents need, such as a new dishwasher to replace one that’s broken, and also to give the parents a monthly allowance. SIL is from the same culture. My sibs don’t do this because my parents are so well-off, which is why I don’t think it should be such a big deal to occasionally give them a nice expensive gift. DB texted me to complain about the inequity earlier today but everyone is saying MYOB. So should I not respond or just say smth along the lines of you do you?[/quote]
