I agree but why use the word ego, I have no part in his suggestion.
u are close with three sisters, 19,24,23.Family friends...
The 19 year old and the 23 year old are "normal", but The 24 year old is an aspiring fitness competitor. For the holidays, my parents send them gifts while there parents send my siblings and I gifts. Been going on for years...usually checks 100-200 bucks for each of us.
now the 24 year old is enhanced. insecure, selfish, like any chick in the industry.
this year my family wrote the two girl's checks. I told them to not write a check to the 24 year old and that I would get her gift myself.
I bought her a pack of vodka mini bottles.

which I know she will never drink...

Girl wants to use that $200 check on a new purse for herself I'm fine with that. But I have a
serious problem with someone spending my family's money on her little filet megnon and asparagus.
you know what I'm getting at...
