I don't mention this much...but my mother in law..actually most of my hubby's family..they just do not care about our children..who happen to be the only grandchildren for that side of the family. No calls or emails to check on them..just nothing. We used to send them very nice gifts and maybe months later or IF we made an effort and asked if they received the gift they would say yes...but good luck getting a Thanks. This year...I'm done. Not a gift, not a family picture, not a holiday card. You don't care about my kids, I'm not wasting my energy on you. I have tried all the prior years so that my children could have some sort of relationship with them...but they just don't care. So, I'm done caring too, I feel a bit guilty..but will not change my mind.

These people are ripe to receive fundraiser gifts.. buy from a good cause - like the school - and know your money is well spent. Buy them wrapping paper, or popcorn tins, or magazine subscriptions (which arrive every month to remind them of you) or a box of THANK YOU cards

I just became the ungrateful gift recipient. Freaking cat. Really. A mouse? In my bed? While I'm sleeping? And now you want to know where I put the thing???!

What about a small gift basket of food? I mean a cheaply made one with spaghettl noodles, pasta sauce, cake mix, etc. Then put a nice note inside about how you think they will "love cooking together & spending time with the one THEY love." how can they complain about that, a gift they can enjoy together & it looks like you're so thoughtful. Its practical (food) & dont worry about shopping for them until you need groceries again.

Sorry to thread jack... Yes. Cat brought the mouse to me, in bed, as a gift. I *thought* the mouse was dead, I got DH (who was watching a game) to come get it. then the cat showed off by tapping the thing. it ran up the bed. Dh caught it, and through it out in the snow. It ran back in.

Kinda made me chuckle to myself. My in-laws are the most self centered people I have ever met. DH's step-mom has money and we are just normal middle class. We see them maybe 6 times a year which is 6 times to many in my book. We have been married 19 years. In the 18 years that we have been married during Christmas time, not once have they ever liked what we gave them. Every year, we give great thought in what to give them and every year they roll their eyes and make snide comments that hurt. You would think by now my feelings wouldn't be hurt......unfortunately this would be wrong. This year we are giving my DH's Dad a jacket for the college our son will be going to in the fall and his step-mother a Vera Bradley purse. We have senior pictures and a joint gift certificate too. Again, they will hate this. They use to hate our children but now "enjoy" them only because they excel in school and extra curricular activities. They can brag...if they were average students, I'm sure they would still have the same feelings for them. Shoot, step-mom was so hateful when our daughter was a toddler and on a feeding tube and they thought she had Cystic Fibrosis that she said maybe it had ben better off if she had never been born. Again.....GRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Forgive me for ranting. I'm a happy go lucky person, but they just make me nuts! :-/
