[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I totally get why this bothers OP.  I think it starts to introduce all sorts of hard feelings when family members are treated differently.  Both my mom and dad are gone, so my only living parent is my stepmom.  She treats all the siblings and grandkids equally in gift giving, as was the case when my dad was alive.  Also, we’re not an extravagant gift giving family, which I think also makes a difference.  Each of us get about $100 or so in gifts, even when we were in our teens and twenties.  [/quote]

Your situation is different in that she probably had a hand in raising you. In OP's case, this man is just the guy her mom married. No other connection to him and yet she belittles the fact that he spoils his daughters. [/quote]

Eh, have to disagree.  Yes, she helped raise me.  But, doesn’t have an especially close relationship with my much older sister and didn’t really have a hand in raising her, but she and her kids are still treated to same.  She even helped pay for her son’s college.  She did it out of love for my dad and because we’re all family.  [/quote]
