Is this tacky

post #1 of 21
Thread Starter 

I have two cousins who are sisters. Their husbands own a construction company together. Not only does the company build house for other people, they build their own houses live in them, and then sell them.

 

But the problem is, that each sister gives the other one a housewarming when they move into their current house. They don't keep these houses for more than a year. The last two housewarmings I didn't go to. For one thing, I am tried of buying a giftsmile.gif and other thing I just think that it is tacky.

 

One of their sil called me tonight and told me that several people were going in together and buy them a comforter, sheets, dust ruffle and drapes from JC Penny. She wanted to know if I wanted to go in with them. I told her no, that I wasn't going and I sure wasn't going to buy a gift.

 

She told me that I had no sense of family. Whatever in the heck that meansbiggrin.gif

That is as bad as having a baby shower for each baby, especially when close together. I don't blame you at all. It is tacky and seems greedy to me.

Yep.  You would think by now they'd have everything they needed with so many housewarming parties.

greedy! Who needs a new everything every time you move?

 

It's one thing, I guess, to have a housewarming party w/o gifts.  Just to show everyone the new place.

That is what I was thinking more of a "open house" type deal, instead of a housewarming party.

 

I remember a couple of years ago, a friend went to one of their housewarming parties, without a gift. They still talk about how cheap that friend was/is.

Exactly! That's just greedy. Sure celebrate the new house, but why have to buy a gift every time, especially if the houses/moves are so close together?! If you visit bring a bottle of wine or some flowers...that would be MORE than enough on their 6th "new house". wink.gif (just picking the number 6 randomly!)

I've been in my house 10 years and we never had a housewarming party.    lOL

 

Yes I agree, tacky!   And greedy to expect gifts.  And the people who keep bringing them gifts are just as bad, why hasn't anyone had the gall to stand up like you and say 'NO, sorry not coming to your 4th housewarming in a row and certainly not wasting my money on a gift for things your probably already have or don't need.'
