I personally wouldn't have said to get a gc to make up the difference. I would have just named the gift you had in mind and said it was $95. However, if I were a grandmother, I would spend equally on all of my grandchildren. Same as a mother, I would spend equally on all of my children.

I think that you should spend the same amount on each child bc one will think the other is being favored over the other one. I would be upset also.

I always spend the same amount of money on my niece and nephew.

Since you stated you "told" her what to get for your DD and basically told her spend $95 on the Barbie gift and then a GC for the rest ($55), it sounds extremely presumptuous to me and I don't think your mother is being unfair.

It is her $$ and she does not have to spend the same on each grandchild. It's the thought that counts. I personally do not like being told what to get or how much to spend by anyone.
