[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't get this.

If you want to contribute to earthquake relief, please do.

However, I will contribute where and how I see fit.  Why on earth are you saying anything about this?

And it's especially bad to say: I'll contribute, but only if you do too (matching).

I'm actually ok with saying 'no gifts' despite etiquette's rulebook because getting gifts you don't want is actually a problem for you to solve (what to do with them, etc).  [b]But I'm just outraged at being directed on my charitable spending.  [/b]It's just not your place simply because you invited my kid to a birthday party.[/quote]

WTF?  You're outraged by this?  Sounds like you have anger issues.

If OP is doing this and you don't want to donate, then I'm fairly certain OP would be find with it.  And, if you're worried about your 'charitable spending' budget, then you can always consider taking the $20 out of your 'gift-giving' budget, since really, you would have had to spend $20 on a gift anyway.

OP, I have no idea why this receives such a negative response from some of these crazy PPs.  OP, do what feels right to you and your DC, and don't worry about other people and their crazy baggage.  [/quote]
