Re: Husband and gifts
I’m sure the firendship is strong in other ways, but I totally get why you’d be annoyed both at them and him. Frankly, if someone acted like that, I wouldn’t bother bringing anything again and again and being so generous.
And to be totally honest, that’s actually really weird to bring a second cake to a birthday party when it wasn’t even requested…I kinow your reasons and intentions were different but if I were a host, I’d maybe even feel a little insulted, that what I have isn’t good enough for you? (I know that’s not the intention but that’s how the action can come across). I would do a nice gift the first time, but after that I would only reciprocate. If you don’t give my kids anything, or if you give very little (which is totally ok!) then dont’ expect me to shell out $50-100 for your kids bday. It’s not being stingy or chota dil its just not being taken advantage of.
