[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like shopping is the expression of her love....something for her to do to feel useful. I have this same problem with a friend who's about 15 years older than me who does this to her daughters, and who gave me a really expensive wedding present that was not something we wanted or needed or had registered for. It's sitting in our basement, and I don't know what to do with it. But perhaps you can gently push her toward putting that money in say, a college fund? And like one of the previous posters said, find ways to get her involved that don't involve shopping, like asking for her advice on stuff. That's free -- and she'll feel needed and loved. [/quote]
