B.S.  If someone came up to her DH in a store and intentionally hit him with a cart, should she stand off to the side and say nothing?  If someone hurts someone I love, I got their back.  Watching this selfish guy treat his father, sister and grandparents with disdain is hurtful.  [/quote]

What some of you people don't seem to get is that NOT ALL ADULTS BUY OTHER GROWN-ASS ADULTS PRESENTS FOR CHRISTMAS. If you want to get other adults presents for Christmas, do so, and enjoy. Some of us don't feel like celebrating a religious holiday with secular materialism. Some of us think the Santa side of Christmas really is just for kids, too.

I'll really blow your mind when I let you in on the secret that some of us also think celebrating non-milestone birthdays with lots of gifts, cakes, parties, etc. past the age of about 25 or so is also moronic. [/quote]

Where did EITHER of these comments mention GIFTS?  So jump off your soap box.  The whole point is SS is being hurtful to his family.   He doesn't have to buy stuff - even if he told grandparents he was taking them out for a movie or for a walk in a park as a gift, they'd be thrilled.   [/quote]

It literally says gift in the thread title. OP is clearly referring to physical gifts.[/quote]

Then don't quote two comments that DON'T refer to gifts.[/quote]

Why?[/quote]
