[quote=Anonymous]My MIL might have this tendency. She asked what we wanted and I sent ideas. I’d asked for a scarf and she gave me one she’d bought thirty years prior. It’s the kind a tourist would buy when in a certain country. Regarding the old scarf, she made a big deal about how she likes to buy local…I knew there was nowhere local that sold scarves like this because the town is too small. Really weird. I finally realized she will only give us items she buys from her friends at the church bazar or their small businesses and the buying is all about her looking generous to the people who create this stuff. She also makes stocking for us. We are all adults. We do not expect or ask for this…but she barely put anything in my stocking. Meanwhile, I buy items for her stocking to surprise her. If we go back there for Xmas, I asked my spouse to buy me items for my stocking, so I can be part of the experience too. [/quote]
