[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if you are feeling generous, go ahead and get her the one you would recommend.  But if you feel you've given enough, then don't.  You'll never know her true intentions unless you ask her, and I assume you don't plan on doing that.[/quote]

OP already WAS generous.  At what point has she done enough? [/quote]

Then don't get her anything.  The niece merely asked for advice.  Even if she was fishing, there's nothing more for OP to do. [/quote]

Exactly.  You were asked and you answered.  If your niece was expecting more, then she got her answer because you didn’t bite.  Personally I think you have been very generous and you should not be guilted into doing more.  If you are already the family checkbook, you could be headed down a slippery slope if you go too far into this.  There’s a lot of family who’ll be expecting the same treatment!  It was her choice to marry and have a baby at 19, not yours, so do not feel you have a responsibility to bail them out.[/quote]
