[quote=Anonymous][/quote] And again, to address those who are calling me "Greedy Gretchen": one part of this whole story is that I feel like it is flat out disrespectful to essentially waste MIL's money. I consider it a waste if we are using it for a vacation, and not investing it in our DS's future. That is what seems greedy and wrong to me. My frustration is that we cannot all seem to have a rational conversation about this, because on the one hand it seems greedy on my part, and on the other hand DH is completely unwilling to address it on his own. [/quote] Well...sorry but you can't really decide what gifts other people will give you. My parents occasionally pay for all of us to go on a vacation, and I would never dream of telling them they should instead give us the money so we can use it for college savings (or whatever), even though that is what I would use it for if I had my choice. My parents want to buy us a vacation, and that is their choice.[/quote]
