Re: Baree vs. Jehez
Wow this thread has sparked quite the debate!
PS - You are right in your post that we should not care about these things, and in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter.
When I really think about it, I think I was more disappointed that my mother went to the trouble of getting my fiance's sisters and mother very beautiful outfits with matching shoes and jewellry....they were all very good quality and expensive. The outfits my MIL got for my mother and step mother were of much lower quality and about 1/4 the cost of what my mother spent on their gifts.
Let me repeat, I am NOT upset, nor would I ever complain about this to my fiance or anyone in his family. In fact, I did graciously thank her for the gifts and beleive me I KNOW she did not HAVE to get me anything.
I guess it was more that my mother spent the time/effort/money to get them all gifts they would really like - she even got each of them outfits in their favourite colors. I specifically told my mother to get them REALLY nice stuff and spend generously...because you only get married once and I genuinely wanted them to like their gifts.
I know I can't have a say in the type of gift another person gives me...but because I always give other people really nice gifts, I guess its kinda disapointing when others dont do the same for me...that's all.
