Mother-in-Law still has not given us a gift for the wedding...not even a card!!!

We have been married for over four months and his mom never got us a gift. SHe said that as soon as she got paid after the wedding she would gift us something but she never did. I don't care about money but she could at least bought us a card and write something nice on it. So I didn't send her a thank you card. She never offered to help us with the wedding (I don't mean finacially) She barely even said congrats. She is such a b@#ch!

Sorry to hear that. My FMIL hasn't offered to help us out either, but I can forgive her since she is 85 years old.

i'm sorry

Re: Mother-in-Law still has not given us a gift for the wedding...not even a card!!!

wow! 4 months is way too long.

My MIL gave us a gift a couple weeks after we got home from the honeymoon. My mom gave it to us the night before the wedding. We weren't expecting anything from either of them because they did help us out with the wedding.

Other than that, how's married life?

edited to add: I know that guests have one year. But, in my opinion that's crazy. And, for moms and immediate family members, 4 months is too long...

Wow, that bites. Let it go though. It's totally bad but try not to let it in too much. Some people can't help themselves. My mother is giving me so much money for this wedding, that I'm going to tell her not to get us a gift. If not for her, I probably wouldn't even be able to have a wedding.

Yikes that sucks..maybe your husband can say something to her without seeming rude???

Re: Mother-in-Law still has not given us a gift for the wedding...not even a card!!!

Make sure you get her something really nice from the Dollar store for Christmas!!
That really is rude of her not to even acknowledge your wedding with a card!! Actually you should return the favor for Christmas and get her nothing and tell her as soon as you get paid after the holidays, you'll get her something. Sorry, I am very spiteful and don't like when people are rude, especially our own parents!!!

Re: Mother-in-Law still has not given us a gift for the wedding...not even a card!!!

Some of these responses are hilarious. However, on a serious note, I feel your pain. You have evry right in this world to be upset. My mother in law is the most vindictive and jealous person I know. Im sure I'll be up here 8 months from today venting on a story similar to yours. As long as you enjoyed your special day.. thats all that matters.

P.S. I love the idea of 'not getting her a x-mas gift and telling her you'll get one after you get paid' hehe

Re: Mother-in-Law still has not given us a gift for the wedding...not even a card!!!

Try not to take it personally. My MIL & FIL didn't give us a gift or a card either. It's not an issue for us, we know they love us and are happy for us and that's really all that matters. But my MIL did alot for the wedding - she made our pew bows, bought our ring pillows, etc etc. Little things like that. Did she get you guys a shower gift?

I would send a thank you card regardless of whether she gave a gift or not. She did give birth to the man you married, after all. That's something to thank her for!

Re: Mother-in-Law still has not given us a gift for the wedding...not even a card!!!

Unfortunately she did NOTHING for the wedding...she never even called once to see if I need help with anything.. She was totally not involved at all as if she was just a mere guest at the wedding. She is a very cold person even to my husband. She is not the 'motherly' type. I do like the response about not getting her a Christmas gift though!

Re: Mother-in-Law still has not given us a gift for the wedding...not even a card!!!

I'm sorry that is so mean.

I was just posting on another message about whether or not mine will even show!

She'll probably 'forget' or be running late, I just know her and her games all too well by now. I know it hurts and it sucks but she was good for one thing, she gave you your DH!

Oh, and I def. wouldn't even send her a Christmas card! if she says something tell her it must have gotten lost and maybe its with your wedding card!

Re: Mother-in-Law still has not given us a gift for the wedding...not even a card!!!

Oh my goodness. That is so rude. I am so sorry. My MIL is giving us a honeymoon trip, and is doing so much for the wedding already. I am not going to expect her to give us nothing for the wedding though. Because she is already doing so much.

Re: Mother-in-Law still has not given us a gift for the wedding...not even a card!!!

im sorry to her that. i hope that things change with her...
