At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I would like some advice about a situation I will be encountering this weekend..About a week ago, my MIL called and said that she and FIL have some money left over in the wedding fund and would like to take us furniture shopping. (background info: MIL works at a furniture store, so she gets a discount. Also, for DH's college graduation gift (he graduated in 2003), his parents told him they would give him a certain amount of money for furniture, but he has never taken them up on that offer since he hasn't needed anything due to different living situations, etc.)So, tomorrow my husband and I are going to where MIL works to furniture shop. I know how much money she said she has left over that she wants to give us. I have two questions:1. Since they are giving us money, are we obligated to consider their opinions on what to buy, even if they think we should buy something that isn't our style?2. What if we get there and find something we like but it is over the specified amount? I would say we could just use our own money to make up the difference, but i know that MIL will try to pay for the entire amount if its over the amount she is giving us. Any ideas about how to tactfully say no if she tries to do this, and only accept the amount she already said she has to give? Sorry so long!
