email from older sister basically she is not buying xmas presents as does not want to add to the pile of unwanted presents we all have
she also said if we buy them pressies not to waste time thinking of the perfect present, and maybe give the money to charity.
i emailed her a stroppy reply in short explaining i give pressies to people i love to show i love them and apreciate them i dont give presents to people in other countries i dont know as i give to charity regularly but it should be on my terms.. and that she can give the unwanted presents to a charity shop as we dont have any unwanted presents and my kids apreciate everything they get but we must have different values if she does not..
really upet me as we dont get to see each other as so far away and her email was so harsh and dismissive if she does not want to buy presents just say so dont make excuses
Sorry, and I obviously don't know your story completely, but I can kinda see where she is coming from. As I get older I can never think of anything I want, and would rather people don't waste their money on something I may not want or use. Obviously this site and others have a lot to do with it! I hate people wasting money on things I know I could've got cheaper. I always think experiences (day trips, theatre, concerts etc) are much better than material things, or homemade things that you can see thought and care have gone into making them. Perhaps your sister might like something you can make yourself and send? Maybe she can't afford much this year and doesn't want you making an effort if she can't?..
Just my view, please don't take offence.
