Sometimes people say things that just fly out of their mouths and have no idea the effect it has.<BR/><BR/>It is not isolated and I am sure it happens in a lot of homes.<BR/><BR/>The gift of family and friends is what is most important. The gift of ones life, health and happiness is most important. It's unfortunate that people sometimes have that realization when faced with an unfortunate circumstance.<BR/><BR/>I hope the little girl had fun anyway. You'd be suprised sometimes they just tune things out and sometimes they are true sponges and absorb everything.anonymous momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17197026376517952619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207123223534100064.post-53492805650979470542008-06-22T18:53:00.000+03:002008-06-22T18:53:00.000+03:00Y'know, this is exactly how my husband's side of t...Y'know, this is exactly how my husband's side of the family is. It's like "keeping up with the Joneses even if it puts you in the poorhouse." I also don't like being dictated to as to how much I should be giving someone. <BR/><BR/>I do what I can - what I can afford, and what I feel the occasion deserves. Hubby's view is skewed because they kept up appearances and "paybacks" like you mentioned. (Oh we gave their kids $200 when they got married and our kids only got $50? Shame on them!)<BR/><BR/>It's so not me. We invite people we love, because we love them. Not for what they can give us.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339006290850303550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7207123223534100064.post-47346764933001834542008-06-21T23:51:00.000+03:002008-06-21T23:51:00.000+03:00Or else get presents that cost 30 shekels or more ...Or else get presents that cost 30 shekels or more ;)!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
