[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 86248, member: 3450"] Last year for Christmas I bought things for my dtr's apt. that she shared with boyfriend. In the Spring they abandoned the apt. because they weren't paying rent and were going to get evicted. My husband and I went and rescued her stuff we had given her for Christmas plus the pet rat and some other stuff that supposedly had sentimental value to her. I decided then and there we would not be buying her any more things at least til we know she can be depended upon to take care of them. For her birthday in May I got her gift cards for restaurants since I knew she had to eat and knew she wasn't doing much cooking. She was very grateful to have them. In your case I sure wouldn't be worrying about getting anything that means something--if she is anything like my difficult child was, it won't mean enough to take care of or possibly will be pawned. I stupidly let my difficult child take her deceased dad's guitar a couple of years ago before I realized her true nature. I thought she would take good care of it because it had belonged to her beloved father. Nope, it disappeared, and she still claims she brought it home and I know she never did. We expect the boyfriend pawned it. Remember, this marriage is a farce, she is living with low-lifes, she does not have the same values that you do. I would just get something for the baby or something you know they could use and won't end up selling or giving to the in-laws. Sorry, Jane [/QUOTE]
