[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this isn’t the point of the thread, but I’m so happy to read people taking offense to the disparity in gifting sums of money! My parents [b]always gift my DH and I[/b] a chunk of money to the two of us, and they do the same for my siblings and their spouses. My inlaws, OTOH, gift my DH $500 every year and gift me one fifth of that. Honestly it’s nice to receive something but it’s just incredibly awkward and cringeworthy for them to pass out 3 $500 checks and then give me a $100 check.(DH’ sibling are both single thus far)  And everyone opens the envelopes at the same time. I just feel so awkward!! I wish they would skip my $100 check altogether and just address my DH’s envelope to both of us. I’ve never complained about it but I definitely think in my head “how tacky!!!” [/quote]

Please stop with the “gifting” language! They [i]gave[/i] you some money. [b]The amounts aren’t large enough to be within the realm of legal “gifting”[/b]. [/quote]

Thank you. This "gifting" thing is also a pet peeve of mine. I also hate when people say gave/gifted to "DH and I." It's gave to "DH and me." Objective case pronouns, people. [/quote]
