Dh's niece is getting married. 3 yrs ago we sent her $500 for her high school grad. for which she NEVER acknowledged/thanked us. Now 4 of us need to fly out of state for a weekend wedding & I'm sure dh will want to give her at least $500 again. I'm dead set against it & don't want to fight about it. WWYD?

np: It's your husband's close family. Family is important. If my sister didn't come to my child's wedding, just because it was inconvenient, I would have a hard time forgiving her. [ Reply | More

He needs to give what he wants but also, is there a way to get the message to this kid either straight from DH's mouth or via another relative that thank you's are expected. Maybe she has grown up since high school (!) anyway and knows the right thing to do. [ Reply | More

I think she'll be better this time - I just resent it - don't get me started on the rush wedding so her fiance will get his monthly stipend increased as he ships off with the Air Force since he'll be married (I think this is a recent relationship) [ Reply | More

let's not overthink this please - no need to be threatened - it was a more involved story than that so I apologize for not properly "justifying" my annoyance - but you did hit it right, I'm really good at holding a grudge, definitely need to work on that. [ Reply | More
