[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will you people stop using GIFT as a verb? Ugh. Saying gift accomplishes nothing more than saying "give." "My MIL gave us a car." Why GIFT? This isn't the Oscars "gifting" suite.[/quote] Our parents gift us an envelope for Xmas and the same to my siblings family with a choice of one of 3 weeks paid to a caribbean destination or Disney with them. They want to enjoy themselves, their kids and their grandkids. We are american, so they do not have that Old Country mentality that they get all giddy that their adult child & his/her spouse raising kids in pricey Washington DC are going to pay for all their food, flights and lodging everytime we all get together. My dad will fight to pay any bills or at least half of them. They know we have decades of increasing expenses and they do not want to be a burden. Thus they saved their money, have long-term HC policies in place, and gift whatever they want while they enjoy their modest retirement. [/quote]
