hi ,i not know how to chat in here ,who can teach me ? I think that's a little harsh to use "spoiled kids", sounds a little too judgmental to me. Her parents are like any other parent in the world, they are worried for their daughter. This is their tradition to have the bride receive a gift from the grooms family, that doesn't sound like spoiled kids more like caring parents bound to their tradition. And their tradition trumps all else - in their mind. Ah Don now you have hit on the one thing that really upsets me aometimes when dealing with China/Chinese people. That's right. Either accept it, or start running as fast as you can.
