MY FMIL at her best
My FMIL and FFIL purchased a portable countertop dishwasher for FH and I for Xmas. A thoughtful gift yes, but it is something neither of us wanted or really think we want to use (also we are not living together). Helpful info: Before the holidays we told his mom and dad that if anyone is at a loss as to what to buy us to look at our registries. So FH did the natural thing and he told his dad today.
Well all hell broke loose and his mother is out of sorts and decides to bash our XMAS gift to her. She assumes the gift was soly my doing and hints at it being cheap and useless (candles and teatreelights from partylite). She has always had ill feeling towards me from the very beginnning because I didn't want to meet her within our 1st two months of dating (my focus was on him and I). She says she preferred the gift we gave her sister, which also was from partylite, was a sole candle in a glass holder. She also said she preferred her husbands gift which was a police oriented shirt (FH is a policeofficer). Mind you both of the gifts she preferred where less than her gift.
FH and I are paying for our entire wedding (from e-party to rehersal dinner) on our own. We even toyed with the idea of only giving his family PBA cards and a holiday card.
Also, in October I gave her a water bottle and visor which had the breast cancer ribbon and proceeds went to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. I also included a card telling her that I admired her strength and courage and wanted to let her know I would be thinking of her during October (breast cancer survior).
My apologies I needed to vent.![]()
