Don’t want the brothers showing you up as aa cheapskate?

It’s the thought that counts, unless you’re the spouse!

So you better come up with a good one, Clarence!

Charlene is probably an old fashioned gal of simple pleasures. Either that, or Clarence is just a cheapskate.

Looking for suggestions?

Lesson my kids learned; if significant other says no gifts their better be one.

Give her another broken down car to fix. She would love that.

I’m a no gift kinda gal. I will accept them graciously, but if all I get is “Happy Birthday” I really am fine. my hubby spoils me all year. No need to wait until a birthday to be treated nicely.

Has anyone else given a gift that was carefully thought out only to have it handed back to you with a “No thank you” yet you’re told you’re not allowed to do the same when you can’t use the gift you receive? After 6 months of grief my, adult, kids are finally seeing my side and making up for their attitude.

20 years ago she got a $17k 15 diamond bridal set, and she picked it out. whatnell am i going to do if we live to our 50th??

Was the “no gifts” idea Charlene’s or Clarence’s? Is he afraid he’ll get shown up by someone else’s perfect gift?
