[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, maybe it is your sister's tone that is upsetting you? Otherwise I don't really get the issue. My son is 6, and so is my nephew, but they are just totally different people - DS is kind of a nerdy kid, into science and po kemon, my nephew is sporty. I always ask my sister what my nephew would like and she asks me what DS would like. [/quote] Op here, guilty as charged. It's the "oh you poor thing, let me guide you into an appropriate gift choice since you are so helpless and wrong" that is grating. Multiplied by 4 years of birthdays, baptisms, holidays, and his most recent panicked reaction to a cute gift that necessitated a long email with gift suggestions in October. Maybe other people have been able to give/receive gift ideas without the condescending tone and overall ungrateful attitude, but it really stinks to be on the receiving end of this year after year.
