[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask for the money now.  Say point blank “I hate badgering for reimbursements as much as you hate hearing it so either pitch in on the gift with us now or let me know you’re doing your own thing so we can take it from there.”

This, with a specific date she needs to send the funds by.[/quote]

Listen to yourself. Let the sister show her love without money if that is what she wants. The materialism and focus on money here is so concerning. This is family. The gift is a loving family. It is not about how much you spend and starting a family drama and calling people cheap or finding new ways to make Larlra cough up some cash. Get some perspective. One day your parents will ill and they will pass away. Will the care about the fact y'all spent a lot of money on some gift, but made Linda feel like a loser or that they remember being surrounded by love?[/quote]

wtf? DH and I only have one sibling each. We ask around Christmas and birthdays if they want to go in on the gift. If they say yes, they pay up.

And yes, [b]lots of parents do want nice gifts[/b]. We gift our parents more than we gift our children. [/quote]

So your parents would rather you have resentment and discord and they get their nice gift, then just see their adult children and grandchildren getting along?
