I'm Very Disappointed

Now, MY family is the one that is not thrilled about my marriage, yet everyone sent us money or gave us a gift.

DH's family was sooo happy that we got married, yet his mom was the ONLY one to give us anything! (oh actually his Uncle sent us some money, and he hasnt even seen him in years!)
Anywya, DH has FOUR sisters and we havent even recieved a CARD from ANY of them!!!
(one of his sisters told me shes sorry she has one but hasnt sent it out... shes in the middle of a separation, so i can understand)

its not even about getting money or gifts, its the principal! what the hell?!?!

one sister lied and said 'i got you your card today!'.. that was like last month.... (and a month after we got married!)
and another one said 'oh i left your card in North Carolina' (where she lives)... still, nothing.

What would you feel?
Or do? (if you would do anything)

Its just VERY upsetting to me.
I dont understand it.

first of all, If it makes you feel any better we had a big wedding. Many of dh's family did not come to the wedding. I remember some of them being so excited that we were getting married and looking forward to it. One of them told us that they wouldn't come but they were going to send a gift and their words were that is the proper thing to do. Etc. etc. well, they never did. I know maybe they had good intentions but at least send a card to acknowledge the marriage.

I can relate. I haven't spoken to my father in a very long time. No one from his side came to the wedding. Most didn't send gifts, either. But, my grandmother was kind enough to send an empty card.

Sometimes, people are just azzes. Just make sure that you remember this the next time you receive an invite to something for them!

Between the shower and the wedding I don't think I have enough fingers to count how many people said we can't make it but we'll be sedning a gift and guess what NO gift.

It's not about the gift but it's just annoying when someone says something then doesn't do it.

We got xmas cards from these people and only one wrote a little note about missing the wedding (oh yeah and she was a no show whose plate we paid for along with her husband) and no gift.

I don't know what I would do but I would feel very sad and dissappointed as I'm sure you do. I'm sorry!

How come DH hasn't said anything to them - they're HIS sisters?

i know! he doesnt want to start anything!

its just so weird. we have no problems with them or anything.

did they just forget?
its so weird. a card would make me happy!

his one sister gave like $2k to all the other sisters when they got married..... and we didnt even aget a card from her!


they all have children, but we cant take it out on the kids by noit sending them gifts and cards... its not their fault their parents are asholes.

its just so weird.
