I personally don't see why she is being so selfish!! Would she rather see you in debt with an xbox, silly woman!!

My SIL is 12 weeks pregnant and doesn't have much money and doing a house up, so we suggested to her that we would get something for the house or baby if thats what she wants!! It is nice buying luxeries but if people need things then how are luxeries gonna help x

I agree, For example, someone who has a job works hard supports his family and wants to play on a game console on the weekends as a relaxation is totally acceptable, but someone who has asked for something they NEED, be it money to get out of debt or a house thing for the new flat, with a baby on the way and no job its much more important. The games console *could* potentially distract him from job searching. As a father to be that should be the most important thing and his mother should support him in that not just get a big expensive gift as a gesture.. im sure that boomerslady and her OH would much much more appreciate help towards the start of their new life in a flat and as parents. Its not about them offending her to say that they dont want the gift, but why cant she help aswell as give a nice gift? and get the games console next year?
