My mother-in-law's got some kind of gift-giving problem. Gives gifts and makes her pay for them. She has an only daughter, my wife. My wife has never asked her for anything because she knows how it will end. My mother-in-law used to give her birthday presents, even a doll, or candy, or a ticket to the circus, but she made her work, to help in the vegetable garden, to clean the cattle, to draw water and so on. It made my hair stand on end. If they give gifts, well, as if it is gratuitous, from the heart, isn't it? Now I understand why my wife discourages me from taking gifts from my mother-in-law, and we will owe her....
