[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How old is your son/daughter and law? You just had a baby, too? Sounds like a HUGE age difference, unless I am misreading something. Please clarify :)

To answer your question, daughter in law sounds like an ungrateful person. Son seems petty/dumb to bring it up to you---how could he possibly think that mentioning her dissatisfaction with the gift would endear her towards you, and pave the way to a healthy relationship?

FWIW, I think your gift was thoughtful and well-thought out. 
Please ignore the rude comments from them as best you can, and move on.[/quote]

Yes, huge age difference-the child of my early 20's and the child of my 40's  :D

Thank you to you and other posters who have been supportive. I appreciate it. I was so suprised at their reaction. I do fear that we are not going to have a good relationship. I worry for him too-it's out of character for him to say stuff like that to me, not something he'd typically do on his own.

I let it go after our text chat. I acted like it was ok, even though it hurt me so much.[/quote]
