[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone gives me bath bombs, all I can think about is what a pain it's going to be to clean the bathtub after using.

I think the snarky comment to her about how she already knows all of the best toddler games would have put me over the edge.

Are you sure you aren't the one who has the problem with her vs. the other way around?[/quote]

You sound a little passive aggressive, OP.

Like PP, I find your comment back about SIL “knowing all the best stuff” pretty snarky, but I guess your point was to know more than she does,

As far as the charm bracelet, that sounds like a really personal gift best given to her by her husband, BFF, or in conjunction with her input so she could find the charms that are meaningful to her. Aside from that, it’s not really a practical gift for a new mother.

You also seem to have the same annoying trait as so many people who claim their love language is gift giving, in that you don’t really care to hear what makes the other person happy, as long as you are happy and receive your due praise and adulation over how much time and effort you put into it.

Gift giving is supposed to be done FOR THE RECIPIENTS HAPPINESS, not the giver’s. If you really to be happy, you’d buy the $20 underpants without question, because that is truly what they are asking for and want. [/quote]
