yes - we were originally going to get him an ipod to replace the one that was stolen, and she was going to get him the radio you can connect it to - but he figured out I was going to get him an Ipod and he told me not to - he didn't want it - so when she called to find out - I had to tell her get somehting else...

He's so difficult...

I called her, but that's because we're spending Christmas there and I just ordered the gift online and had it shipped to her house.

I talk to FI mom a lot. I actually gave her most of the ideas to give him and a lot of the gifts she gives him are actually for us so that's kind of cool. She also gives me money and I do all the clothes shopping for him from her.

to be sure we arent getting him similar things. I would think that is what people do.

How about if she was coming to your home for the holidays? Would she call you to see what to bring? My FMIL won't call our home and she has called fh to discuss what she plans on bringing.... not even checking with me to see whehter I am already making something or even saying 'what can I bring' instead of 'this is what I am bringing.'

Ha! Here is one for you... I had ordered something for ust to use at the beach and I had it delivered to her home because i don't like things being delivered to our apartment. Well.... we went to her home about 2 weeks later for his birthday and guess what, she hands him a gift she had wrapped herself and when he opened it, it was the item I had ordered!!! Everyone thought the gift was sooo cool and she DID NOT give me credit for being MY PURCHASE on MY CREDIT CARD. LOL LOL LOL
