I checked out of doing the gifts for my MIL probably about a year and a half ago. I will do the gifts for my mom, step MIL, and FIL but not MIL and step FIL. I barely even remind DH to do it because I just don’t care… she’s rude and weird. She also doesn’t get me anything for my birthday (which is 100% fine) BUT she sends flowers for mine and DHs anniversary, weird asf.
For her birthday this year it was her 50th and DH told her he would pay for a trip for her and her husband to go on and her response was “I am with him all the time why would I want to go on a trip with him?? Why can’t we go together??” Her husband had/was away for 3-4 months, but she seems to hate being with him. Thankfully we didn’t buy those tickets.
Anyways, she’s had other moments with gifts and I just don’t think she’s big on gifts which is 100% fine BUT she wants DHs time and he doesn’t always want to give it and it’s easier for him to give gifts to her.
DH told me that he’s just going to do an edible arrangement and get lunch with her next week, and I know that’s not going to fly well with her at all but idc. I’m not a mom so I can’t claim the weekend for Mother’s Day but I’m about to pack it with activities so I don’t have to see this lady because I know when she finds out he’s “only” going to do lunch she’s going to guilt the CRAP out of him.
