When one person proposes to another, can the proposal be considered a gift?

Mom pressures 16-year-old son to see his 16-year-old stepsister as his sibling because she’s paranoid they’ll start dating if they don’t feel like siblings: ‘They treat us like siblings and want us to feel like siblings, but we don’t.’
They should feel grateful for their amicable relationship and leave it at that. You can’t force a sibling relationship between two stepchildren, and you can’t force a stepmom or a stepdad to be accepted into a parental role by the child they’re step-parenting. While it can be difficult for a parent when their child seemingly …

Entitled mother points out that her teen daughter’s “Gucci” birthday purse from her 15-year-old boyfriend is a fake, only for her husband to defend the boy and accuse her of being materialistic, sparking family tension: ‘I felt like it was tacky’
Wow…we’re a little bit speechless right about now. I don’t think any mother should be overanalyzing any gift a 15-year-old buys, nor commenting on its authenticity. At fifteen, you’re barely old enough to land a job at Ice Cream Land, so we’re unsure in what world this mother thinks (or expects) that her teenage daughter …
