[quote=Anonymous]My MIL operates under the guise of 'fairness' but it never quite seems to ring true. I'm fairly certain that BIL has made multiple requests for larger sums of $ 5k/10k for whatever reasons (they're not good planners, SIL switched career late in life - leaving large school loans, etc.) As far as I know MIL complied with all requests. And all she'd ever do was tell us, 'Oh, I gave them $, so if you ever need anything...' After few years of this, I finally said, 'Hopefully we won't ever need to ask, but if you want to write a check by all means write one.' She did. Now she mostly just tries to keep it even among the grandkids, but every gift is colored with 'I got this for them, so i got your child one, too'. I just can't imagine saying, 'I got my Mom one, so here's yours'. Just cheapens it. I don't want 'fair' like that.[/quote]
