[quote=Anonymous]If your kid likes it, and it sounds like she does, who cares when or where the gift came to be?

Sounds like you have more of an issue that your SIL has a high income and therefore by default should be gifting your DD more expensive gifts.

1. You don't know their financial portfolio. Just bc she makes more doesn't mean that she's got more spending cash, esp when you have mentioned she's "flashy to boot" which means she probably shops a lot for herself and her child.

2. You cannot be upset over someone else giving your child a gift. You can be upset that she re-gifted something, but you have no legit proof that she didn't just order the same thing from Amazon as another PP has suggested.

3. People send presents late because the post office is a lot easier to deal with after xmas than before. If you're family, it shouldn't matter as long as the child is happy and gets the present intended for her.

Overall, I think you have a chip on your shoulder about your SIL's income bracket, and your unreasonable expectation of her gifts to your DC.

Let it go now. 11 months from now tell her that you don't want to exchange gifts anymore because the kids are getting older and they want to pick their own gifts. At that point you can let your SIL take control and decide if she wants to send a gift card or send nothing at all. Then you'll have your answer if she cares that much about your child or has just been sending gifts because it's the unwritten expectation as family. [/quote]
