About 20 years ago my husband and I gave $800 of airline money to his mom and sister so they could go to a wedding in Mexico. It was my idea. Not many months later, one day when my MIL was upset about something, she blurted out to my husband we do nothing for them. This was years ago when $800 was a lot of money to us. It’s still a lot of money to me, but then it was even more. Plus, it’s not the only thing we have done for them by a long shot. I wish we had never given them that flight money. Fast forward to 3 months ago my MIL tells my husband that she gave her daughter $4k for her new condo. Not to buy it, to fix it up I guess. My SIL makes more money than us right now! My husband’s parents gave basically never given us anything. Yes, some small gifts here and there, but even that, we always get less than other family members. I know it shouldn’t matter, but it’s so incredibly obvious the money spent us drastically different on things like ********* gifts.
