[quote=Anonymous]Well, from the other side . . . Have tried to pick out gifts for DIL that she would like, and of magnitude similar to those given to DS. And apparently she does like them, judging from her use of most of them. But no acknowledgment other than a short "thank you" as the gift is received. And she recently told us she doesn't really consider us her family. Don't think she meant this to be hurtful, just a statement of obvious (to her) fact. Likewise, I sometimes buy clothes for grandkids, which are often not acknowledged. FWIW our tastes are similar, and the kids do wear the clothes I choose. Sufficient reward, I guess. She's a very "private" person (which I am too, though not like that) and my best guess is she finds the intimacy of a carefully chosen gift too intrusive. Maybe I'd do better to give $. So, it cuts both ways.[/quote]
