[quote=Anonymous]Here's another perspective on being nosy about gifts: my MIL does this, too, but mostly for DH's side of the family. She HAD to know what gifts we received from everyone on her side of the family for our wedding years ago, and it's gotten worse now that we have kids. "What did so-and-so give the baby? How much was the check?" I was really pushing back about the baby gifts - especially when she'd ask how much money people gave the baby! She told me that she wants to know only because she always gave those family members gifts for weddings and children, etc. and just wanted to make sure that they were reciprocating now that HER child (DH) was getting married/having kids. It's still none of her business, and there's still an element of control involved, but I never thought of it that way before. [/quote]
