[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here Bottom line, I do not agree with such an expensive gift for a young girl who still babysits and considers a good weekend getting $50-75.00. We give her an allowance but she is more than thrilled with a nice Coach bag, and incidentally I gave her one for her birthday.

it goes against everything my husband and I believe in and up until now we have done a darn good job. I have seen the destruction that takes place when kids get things too much and too soon. We want no part of it for our kids. We have raised three kids all who are straight A students, very accomplished athletes and "good well mannered kids" by all accounts from their teachers to their friends parents.

Even my daughter said she was shocked at being lavished with such a gift. And has decided to return it, get a small crossover LV bag that is a bit more suited to a younger person and will keep the credit for another time. This was her decision which I support. First thing we had her do was write a nice thank you.

My brother did call me last night to say he told his wife that wasn't a good idea as "we don't like giving those kinds of gifts" and he said they actually argued bout it but that she insisted. Getting a whiff of her personality now? We laughed over it in the end and agreed to let it go.

Why do i wear work out clothes? I am a full yoga instructor/personal trainer so it's my job! Hope this settles down a few very would up personalities!

All is good now, still do not approve of what she did but it worked itself out.[/quote]

Gosh, I'm not sure the problem is the SIL, I think it might be you and your brother.[/quote]
