[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you genuinely close with them and not trying to buy love? I ask because my mother gets herself into a rage over stuff like this and yes, saying stuff like "my niece just screwed herself" sounds like bitter rage. My mom never gives a gift without strings and when she gets a thank you note, it isn't enough. She wasn't praised enough or it wasn't personal enough or long enough. Then she brings up her generosity whenever she expects things and tries to guilt trip. So while she always gives the largest amount of money she feel she is purchasing all sorts of rights. The younger generation now does not engage at all-not even thank you notes. Parents still insist she be invited to gatherings, but everyone seems to avoid her.[/quote] Your mom is an anecdote of one. I guess nobody in your family wants this obnoxious gift giver around except others in her age range, and at gatherings the "younger generation" which apparently is everyone younger than your mom "avoid her". I wish you would take it upon yourself to tell your mom that nobody wants her gifts and they are not going to thank her for them so she can save her money for something else. Tell her there is no love to be purchased from all the family members younger than her. Do her a favor and at the same time help everyone else in your family avoid the irritation of getting those generous gifts.[/quote]
