Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Evan and it's about gifts. Here's his email: Hi Jaime. I need help on how to be tactful about something serious. I love my wife, and I love her creativity. It would be nice, however, to get a present from her that I can actually use. Homemade presents are wonderful, and I do appreciate the effort that she puts into making them. However, I have no use for all of these decorative trinkets she’s making that I feel obligated to display in the house. How can I tell her this without crushing her creative spirit…because making them clearly means a lot to her? Please help. Thanks so much ~ Evan. This is a difficult thing. We love our spouses and we never want to hurt their feelings but how do we tell them when something they're doing isn't working. I think I would couch it with, "you are so talented and what you make is incredible, but maybe we should reserve those for "anytime" presents instead of gifts for birthdays or anniversaries." I don't know, What do you think? What advice do you have for Evan. Let me know on the TRY Facebook page.
