Do you have family that isn't gracious?

Like Jenn's mom and the wonderful gifts that she got her.



DH is a good one for not being gracious and same with his sister. She will flat out tell you that she is going to return it.

DH I remember why I don't buy him anything for the holidays and birthdays. Because he always complains it isn't the one he wanted or it is the wrong one. blah blah blah

can we just string them up now and beat them?

Oh yes... My neices and nephews have been spoiled rotten. You get them a small gift and they want to know "What else did you get me" or "Where's the rest?" or "Is that all?" And they're all old enough to know better.

My Dad this year really hurt my feelings. I worked really hard to make him a home-made gift for Christmas. It was these 4"X4" blocks with the letters of his last name on the front, so there were 5 blocks in all. Then on the other sides, you modpodge pictures on them. He opened it up and didnt even say ANYTHING. My stepmom chimed in and said thank you. But what was his problem??! I think maybe he wanted more $ spent on him because he gave us some money for DH to go to school this semester. It just hurt my feelings that he didnt say a thing.

My SIL flat out told me she was regifting a Christmas cd I gave her kids. Of course, we thought it was horrible too. Which is why we gave it away. Next year, she's regifting it to her sister. She said she was going to make sure that cd found many new homes.

My family always got me stuff they wanted. It used to upset me so much. Now, I don't talk to them, so it's easy. My dh's family is generally pretty good about that.

I will go there cuz my SIL is a b!tch!!!! My mil and fil don't have alot of $$ and sil and her dh do have alot of $$$ Well mil and fil got them a Fortunoff gift card for both of them and sil turns around and says what's he gonna do with that? next time just get him a gift card to best buys. he would perfer that instead. What's wrong with Fortunoff?? Hell what's wrong with her!! You have money coming out your fat go get it yourself!! Needless to say mil and fil were offended. they also always ask for reciepts so they can return the items. Last year mil and fil asked what they could get their daughter, they said anything with Pooh bear. So they got her the Poohbear that crawls when u shake a rattle or something like that and they told them they got it, sil blurts out oh don't give that to her then she would be to wrapped up in playing with that and won't play with anything else Isn't she suppose to like something so much she plays with it all the time?? (they ended up giving it to their other grandchild and she got upset) I could go on and on about the crap she does and says, but then I would be writing a book

Some people are so rude.... If DH doesn't like something I give him, he doesn't say anything. But I would want to know because I don't want it to sit around not being used. Other than that, we pretty much just buy for the kids. This year my kids did not ask if that was it... when Brandon came downstairs, he said wow, we got too much.

Jimmy was like that Jannie, that is why he made a list for me or pointed it out and get, it for him, I would never surprise him with things I thought he like. That was just not right, he hurt my feelings bad, so that is what i did from then on. Sorry the nasties were among you.
