[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op: I have a very strained relationship with them. The check feels infantilizing, if that's a word.[/quote] Than that is your issue and your sensitivity and less about the validity of the gift. I had a grandmother who did that every year until she did(I was over 40). Our HHI was higher than hers ever was, but it was a sweet gesture on her part that showed she cares about and was thinking about me. My mom and other living grandparent even send checks to my DH on his b'day. We all think it is sweet and funny. My DH and mature, responsible adults who do not let something like a 5 or 50 dollar check make us feel less than who we know we are. [/quote]
