[quote=Anonymous]She doesn’t sound all that kind, actually, but if you want any kind of relationship with her then you need to follow her cues. As PPs said, save the gift-giving efforts for people who will appreciate it, and just give your SIL what’s on her list - that is clearly what she will appreciate, even if it’s less satisfying or meaningful for you. She is obviously just a very different person than you are in this regard, and that’s okay. I imagine it feels like a rejection of who you are on some level, and I understand that that stings, but you can’t force a connection. Honestly, she sounds thoughtless - even if she hated the bracelet she could have said thank you. She’s not as kind as you are, but she makes your brother happy, so I’d try to respect her wishes and follow her cues.[/quote]
