Worst gift: My BIL's
wife has struck again! I am fed up with her!! She likes to send
gifts to one of my children and not the other. She is bosom buddies
with MIL and they team up and do it together. She has done it for
years with me, giving only to my DH and forgetting my birthday,
even though I remember hers. My DH encouraged me to keep giving,
"You don't give to receive, do you? " I'd had enough
and I just decided not to give to them this year. Of course, my
DH did not want to comply. He wanted to get brother a gift, so
we went down as a family and mailed it, and he signed all of our
names on the card. BIL replied with a thank you card (first one
ever). He addressed it only to my DH and said, "Hope to see
YOU soon." On my DH's birthday a package came in the mail,
of course, to my DH from my BIL's wife. She even wrapped it. We
just got a package in the mail yesterday from BIL's wife. It was
addressed to my child, whose birthday is coming up. I didn't give
to nephew this year - really hard for me- but I didn't want to encourage
gift trading with them anymore, since they forget my other child.
I opened the gift because SIL has a tendency to give inappropriate
things. She gave my one year old candy for her birthday. Sure
enough, there was a package for Christmas for each of my children.
I opened it up and it was filled with candy and toy razors. It
looked like trick or treat candy because it even had the little
ghosts on the wrappers. She knows that we don't do Halloween.
She also knows that I nurse my little ones and they don't eat candy.
Her child just turned two. Am I just being a butt, or is it inappropriate
to give toddlers candy without asking parents first? I would never
do that to her. We don't give our children candy for holidays,
as they are both too little. I feel like boxing the candy up, addressing
it to my BIL's wife, and telling her to please quit sending our
family gifts. I would like to ask her if her DH knows that she
leaves his name off of all of the packages, and that they are all
addressed from her. My MIL forgot our anniversary again, too.
Their anniversary is this week. I just sent a card. This is the
first time that I have only given a card. I always remember their
dates and have given them gifts for over ten years, even when they
forget. Not anymore!! I am done. I still gave a card, I couldn't
just not acknowledge. I know this is off the subject, but my BIL's
wife flirts with my DH big time. I wish I could just cut all contact
off with them, period.
Signed - My BIL's Wife
Has Struck Again!!

My DH recently had an extended member of his family pass away.
It was no one he was close to, but he planned on attending the funeral
out of respect. However, MIL waited until only 3 hours before to
call and let him know when the service was, as well as inform him
that he needed to pick up SIL before coming out, and this is at
least a 3 hour drive. He told her that there was no way. I was
at work and he didn't have time to get our children ready with such
short notice. MIL went on a screaming tirade (her specialty), about
how it was MY fault that he wouldn't be there for his family, because
I won't allow him to go. He asked how I could prevent him from
going when neither of us knew when the funeral was, but logic does
not apply to my darling MIL.

Worst gift: When DH
and I found out that we were pregnant, my MIL called my mom and
told her that if she threw me a baby shower and she invited his
dad, no one else in his family would be there. My mom simply said,
"OK." My MIL is still pissed that we invited his dad,
and not any of "her" family. She threw me her own shower,
after her grandmother's shower, of course, and got me a Christmas
sweater size 6 months for a baby born in January! At 6 months it
would be JULY, AND we live in a HOT state! She bought it at a yard
sale and it was worn, faded, and the collar was stretched out.
She paraded her sweater in front of all the guests so that they
could all mention how wonderful it was. She completely ignored
all the other wonderful, nice new things that everyone else got
me. So, imagine my surprise when she informed me that she would
be coming to my DD's 1st birthday, even if HE will be there. It
is at my mother's house. I don't know if it will be big enough
for them. HE can behave himself. It's her that causes all the
problems. She also bought a Halloween costume for my 10 month old
DD, size 3 months. Then she asked me if they fit! I told her when
she gave it to me that it wouldn't!
