Frequent

- The Outsider DIL, 2 of 4 needed/Posted:
20-JAN-10
SIL is having a baby in a few months. She has already had 2 showers
that were fairly good in size, and is about to have 2 if not 3 (or
4 - they keep being planned, it seems) more of the same size. I
made her a good sized diaper cake, complete with items inside of
it - the whole nine yards. My new DH and I are currently out of
work and we have to live with DH's parents. That aside, MIL and
FIL act like she is the first person in the course of human events
to be pregnant. When I was pregnant with both of my children, they
pretty much ignored me. I had significant complications with my
pregnancies. SIL has had no complications other than a tiny spot
of bleeding once. I had a large baby, and her baby is a normal
size. I am not, by any means, wishing complications on her, nor
am I jealous. I just don't understand how the same person can be
so hyperfocused on SIL's pregnancy and completely ignore my pregnancies.
Tonight, MIL told to me that I needed to buy another gift for yet
another shower for SIL. I have been invited to one this Friday
and another one for SIL after that. There is talk of yet another
one. I told MIL that DH and I are broke. We are both trying to
find jobs, with no success. We couldn't afford to buy another gift
for SIL (not to be selfish, but our DS needs food and diapers, too).
SIL and BIL are also better off than us at the moment. They have
a house and 2 cars, and both have great jobs with great insurance
and benefits. Is it rude of them to keep requiring us to get them
gifts for every one of these showers?

- madashell/Posted: 20-JAN-10
DH just received the latest crazy "gift"
from his mom. It was a winter hat along with a letter explaining
that she had knitted it herself and was thinking about him all the
time as she made it. Apparently, she knitted it with lots of love.
She hopes he'll wear it and think of her and how much she loves
him, and how much he means to her. She wishes he'd visit more blah,
blah, blah, etc., etc., etc. It's a shame that she forgot to cut
out the "Made in China" label inside the hat.
Signed - Sigh
