[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not consistent here, mainly b/c my SiL has expectations for what we do for her and her family, but does not follow for ours. For examples, [b]she told DH that it was checks only for her DCs once they turned 13, and reminded again for their HS graduations,[/b] but continues to pick out gifts for our DCs who are now past these ages with the oft-cited explanation, "well, I know what I am doing."

And because she holds me to standards that she does not for her brother. She told my daughter last summer, "well, clearly your mom didn't do x" (not true, I simply didn't do it like she did) with no reference to her brother as if I were the only parent in the household.

It is what it is.[/quote]

This is truly tasteless.[/quote]

I didn't necessarily mind, but the way she told DH that the gifts were not working because "we didn't understand teens" and then I saw it was really one way. She basically purchases our DCs' gifts from her crafty friends, items that they may like at 34, but not at 14. The irony did not escape us, even if a flip on her original quip.[/quote]
