[quote=Anonymous]Men (and 25 year old boys) don't really get passive aggression. It's not how they operate. If it bothers your DH, he should say very directly to his son, "It bothers me that you don't...." If it doesn't bother him, I'd personally let it go. BUT, if you happen to be the one picking out, wrapping, and sending the gifts, I'd stop that too. My DH's stepmom has struggles like this all the time because my DH is one of five kids. Two of them are horrid to their father, my DH and the other two are good to him. When some of them do things that bother her on my FIL's behalf, she usually just has to vent to other people since HE never wants to do anything about it. But she has also put her foot down and won't be walked all over by them herself. If they're going to walk all over people, let it be my FIL, since, after all, they are his kids.[/quote]
