    Cruddy Christmas Gifts

    in 2008

    Posted

    My mother in law has NEVER bought a gift for my husband nor myself.... Every year we watch his brother open a gift while we sit.. We've never said anything, but I've always wondered why she always skipped my husband (I never expect anything for myself). I just feel bad for my husband. We've been married for 10 years and for 10 years we've watched his single brother open 3-4 gifts from her. Sad really.

     

     

    My husband the first year we were married bought me a sexy pajama set. It was so small I looked at him and said only with a tummy tuck and full lipo. lol. Im a xlarge and he got me a small. lol

    I really wish she wouldnt buy anything for me and i do appreciate the thought which is really what counts but i cant believe your MIL buys for one son and not the other thats weird. I would understand if she didnt buy for either but to buy for one and not the other is like a smack in the face to your husband...

    I dont think i have any really cruddy gifts other than usual MIL gifts she always buys clothes that she would wear and ive told year after year not to buy me clothes that i have plenty.. But it never fails theres always a big box of clothes that sits in my room until i find someone who wants them.

    I know that my opinion will not be one that everyone will want to hear, But as far as children's wishes why shouldnt a child ask for what they want, Do your children want underware, sock and such for Christmas ? Why shouldnt they want what other children want ? Being poor and parents needing help is one thing, But they are still children who want what every other child wants.

     

    I see nothing wrong with a DS or a playstation or games on their list for older children I see that as normal. Popular toys yes they want them as does every other child,

     

     

    I also work with the elderly with Santa for a Senior and I will tell you these grown-ups are 10 x worse then little kids, I have complaints every year on what they get, Or I hear why did she get this and I get that. So please dont think the elderly are any better, I had one a couple yeras ago put a car, another put a couch, so these forms ask for their wants not thier needs

     

    I completely agree ive known some families on the angel tree and the parents write down what they need and ask the kids to name a few toys they want... Kids are kids and they all want the same things whether its expensive or not.All they know is other kids want it or have it not how much it costs.
