[quote=Anonymous]A PP here.   I was just thinking about this a bit more.  Smallman lives across the country from you, and has only been married to your brother for two years.  Between her own marriage, adjusting to being a stepparent, her career, as well as her own side of the family,  I would guess that she has not actually spent any time at all focused on your views of gifts.  Not in a mean way necessarily, but, come on.  Given your negativity toward her in your posts, and you were condescension and judgment, I would assume she knows you are not crazy about her.  But you are just an in law who lives all the way across the country,  and I'm sure she has many more pressing and relevant issues to think about, as do you.  All to say I would not take this as personally as you are.

That said, if you have any two-year. You've known her being very vocal about you your disdain for the types of purchases she makes, then perhaps she did buy your daughter this gift as a way of  stating that she is secure and her actions and that you cannot control her or her relationships with her now extended family, with your criticism.  If that's the case, perhaps it would be best for you to look inward and question why a grown woman would need to be so familiar with your disdain for her activities given that she lives across the country.

In short, it seems that either she does not know your views on the subject in any significant way, or that she does because you have been Coley inappropriate and making your views known.  Either way, you are the one at fault, as very pretty as you may be. [/quote]
