Punctuation

How can you thank someone for something they haven't given? She's absolutely bonkers!

GlitzAndGigglesx · 27/12/2014 19:00

Facebook is the cause of arguments and breakdowns. Idk why people bother with it. Yes you should've thanked her whether she got stuff for your kids or not

GlitzAndGigglesx · 27/12/2014 19:01

I just realised how confused I am! Ignore the last part of my post I'm lost now

Merry Christmas SIL and thanks for your non-present.

GraysAnalogy · 27/12/2014 19:01

ING.. ING!!!

I think she's a bit tapped if she thinks she deserves thanking for erm.. nothing!

Thumbnutstwitchingonanopenfire · 27/12/2014 19:02

Or in fact, you could post that on FB:
Dear SIL, thanks for nothing.

sooperdooper · 27/12/2014 19:03

What, she wanted thanking for a Christmas present when she didn't send one? Confused

Stealthpolarbear · 27/12/2014 19:04

She your bil's wife? Was the present from him actually from both?

DamnBamboo · 27/12/2014 19:04

Your title is misleading too. There was no present to give thanks for.

KnackeredMerrily · 27/12/2014 19:04

Ha yes I'd be tempted to do a special post just for SIL

Forgot to say a big thank you to SIL for her Christmas thoughts and wishes. You're the best!

RJnomore · 27/12/2014 19:06

Let me make sure I got this right.

Your SIL didn't buy anything for your kids

But she thinks she should be publicly thanked along ?ith the present givers, for no present?

If I'm right with that, YANBU and she is barking mad.

Sorry everyone if iv confused you all its my first time posting, and no my bil and sil are siblings. I was just a bit shocked as i did not intend to hurt anyones feelings and yes glitzandgigglesx you are very right facebook is trouble i think i will be coming off it and communicate the old fashioned way x

I'm too sober for this thread.

I will come back to it later.

AryaUnderfoot · 27/12/2014 19:15

BIL was being a bit of a stirrer. When he had the conversation with SIL he should have told her to get a grip. Why did he have to then phone you about it?

usefully · 27/12/2014 19:19

This is depressing Hmm

sparklebutt · 27/12/2014 19:19

Why does anyone tell tales? I guess probably to stir

did you ask him why she hasn't got them presents and yet still wanted thanking??

slightlyworriednc · 27/12/2014 21:09

I would definitely do what knackeredmerrily said!

MinnieM1 · 27/12/2014 21:11

Am I too pissed or is everyone as confused as me??
Your SIL wants a public thank you for a present she didn't give??

... I need more wine! Wine
