Should a mother allow underage drinking? I drank when I was underage but my parents never knew and when they did find out I got into a lot of trouble. My Sister in-law bought beer and other liquer for her 17yrold daughter and her...

Anora_Eldorath No. It is absolutely irresponsible parenting for a parent to buy their underage child alcohol. I really wish they'd start charging parents with the same severity of a DUI for doing these types of things. I think if more parents were charged, less of this...

underdogtoo It hurts me when kids get the taste for drinking. My friend asked his ward to bring his friends in the house to drink instead of drinking in bars. He bought them a case of hard drinks and drank with them until they were all woozy and dizzy. They did not want a...

spalladino No, it's not okay. It sets a bad example about following the rules and puts kids who are still too immature to be consuming alcohol in a potentially dangerous situation. Your sister-in-law may have stayed up all night with those kids but it would have only...

22angel22 No NO NO.. it is not okay to buy beer or anything for anyone underage. My friends parents used to do that for them and their friends as long as they stayed at the house.. I lost all respect for that parent. If I heard my kids (when I have them) were given beer...

jsitko Yes, I am a re-gifter. There have been many gifts I have received that I had no use for or did not like. I do not think there is anything wrong in re-wrapping these gifts for someone else. They may like it or have better use for it. I do not see the sense in...

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!! GIFT is a thing which is given to a PARTICULAR person.Its better not to re-gift them(or is it nice to use such a word as re-gift).Just think about your in laws coming to know about re-gifting your gift to your sister.What do they feel? If you dont like the...

1111appleblossoms I'm all for regifting! If I can't use it or don't like it I'm the kind of person who will ask for the receipt to get something else (I know someone who does that and find it rude). I think that as long the person who gave it to you doesn't know then it's...

daneg33 I would regift something that I didn't like if I thought someone else would really like it. If you think the gifts are not in your sister's taste either, I would just take the stuff to the goodwill like you originally planned.

22angel22 I'd rather have money from my mom and gifts from other people. Thats usually the way it happens in my house. My mom used to always tell my dad that she wanted Money for Mothers day, B-day, and any other time. She always said don't waste your money on flowers,...

mammamuh It depends. I rather get money than a gift that I will never use. I have several of them around my house. Gifts that I can use and/or is things I want I gladly take, it's just those things that I'll put away that are so useless to get - both for me and for...

dropofrain I think I would love to get gifts provided they are nice. Otherwise I would prefer to take cash only. Though, taking cash is little rude but I prefer a combination of both the things together.

reichiru Well it's kinda selfish if all you ask for is money. I do that for my birthdays from my parents though, only because I'm not really lacking in anything, so getting money and then saving it up is sometimes a good idea. But if someone really doesn't know what to...

lovelyrita i would rather have a gift than money. it's so tacky just to tell everyone that you want money instead of a gift. why? because: 1. it's like you're putting a price tag to yourself 2. it's a bit offensive to a person who might be putting a lot of effort to...

Karmoni I think if I'd take money if thats what they would want to give me the same goes for the gift. So either the gift or cash would be fine, i'd say it would depend on the person too.

daneg33 That is a touchy subject with some people. One year at Christmas, I decided to tell my mother in law that I really did not like the gift she got me. I thought honesty would be a good thing, but then I decided that it is the thought that counts. You can't ask...
