[quote=Anonymous]Does this happen in their culture? Did they ask their son? Neither my parents nor ILs would've made these requests in their younger years. As my parents aged, I tried to anticipate and provide accordingly. Now I do it with my ILs (even if their own children don't). My MiL appreciates it and probably helps if I later irk her in other ways. If it had been me, I would've said to BiL, "X is asking for this, but I know you are busy with A's BD party, so I am going to poke around your kitchen and find it for them." Then later that night, maybe a few days later, I would mention this to DH and indicate if you want him to take the lead going forward. DH takes the lead on nearly everything related to his family, but if I have ideas for gifts/other stuff, I offer them in advance and he is generally appreciative of the suggestions, usually acting on them.
