[quote=Anonymous]DH and I are in our mid-20s and not exactly rolling in dough, but doing our best to save as much as possible. For the whole time we have been married (and prior to that), DH's parents have emailed him prior to each of their birthdays, mother's/father's day, and Christmas telling him that they would like a specific gift or gifts. Each of these gifts is usually about $100, so this adds up to roughly $600 year. I think this is unfair - we send cards but never ask them for presents (although they do send things we don't ask for) and this is a pretty large expense for where we are at. Am I being stingy? I would much rather we just exchanged cards and bought ourselves the things we wanted. It just doesn't sit well with me that they essentially tell us we need to buy them these gifts.[/quote]
