Ungrateful mother in law who dont bend over backwards for anyone so y do i bother!I always buy the cards?
The in-laws are ingrates and you need to quit attempting to please them... it just isn't possible. If you gave them Rolexes and Cadillacs, they still wouldn't be happy.
Let your husband drop in on them and take them to lunch or dinner every so often, but don't spend any of your time with them... no point in being a sitting target for them.
Keep yourself and your kids where they are appreciated.
Reply:Don't let her rudeness eat away at you hon. She's not worth it. The longer you brood over this the more power you give her to upset you. Accept the fact she's rude and inconsiderate and leave it at that.
Next year just get her a card and no gift and if she complains tell her she didn't appreciate the gift she got last year so you didn't see any point in bothering this year.
Reply:Okay, she does not sound very nice, but you sound a little over-reacting, too. In the larger scheme of things, as evil MIL stories go, that one is still pretty mild. If that is as bad as you have it, be grateful.
Reply:Time for communication to heal.
Reply:cannot expect a thank you when people are like that, some people are just hard to please, so don't bother trying to please her
Reply:I had a similar problem with my mother in law and this is how my husband and I chose to deal with it!
I bought my mom a Mother's Day card and gift and I would sign both our names to it (in my writing)
He bought his mom a Mother's Day card and gift and he would sign both our names to it (in his writing)
If he chooses not to select or send a card, so be it....it's his mother and his problem! If she called and complained, I would pass the phone to him and it was up to him to deal with it.
My husband often didn't bother sending her anything and here's the funny part that really cracked me up!! She used to dig out one of the old cards that she'd saved from years past that I had bought, and would put it on display so people would think she'd been sent one!
Reply:YOU NEED TO STOP TRYNG TO PLEASE YOUR MOTHER-IN-LAW!!!! She is never probably going to happy with anything you do because she either really doesn't like you or doesn't want you with her son. Keep her at a distance and she will probably treat you better.
