Long story short myself and MIL don’t see eye to eye, she’s a rather manipulating person and uses this when she wants something off my OH.
Due to this I keep our visits to her very short, my son is 4 months old now and he’s seen her 3 times which suits me. Anyway she seen him on Saturday and asked me what he needs for Christmas. For me Christmas is a time to be together as a family not to be showered with gifts, should he need anything he gets it as he needs it we don’t wait until a designated day to shower him with gifts that he won’t a; be bothered by and b; won’t even remember. I simply asked for a small gift voucher so when the time comes and he needs a new top/pants/whatever it could be used then.
She honestly looked like I’d shat in her cornflakes, sure that’s not unreasonable of me is it??
