To be pissed off about the above? I generally have a great relationship with PIL. But MIL likes to ask me what DS would like for Christmas/ birthday gifts, then insists all of his presents from her stay at her home. We live fairly close by (30 mins) and DS stays one evening a week after school for a few hours. I have started making stuff up, as if she gets him a “most wanted” gift he can’t play with it whenever he likes. I put my foot down once over a tea set he was desperate to have, and she made me feel awful for insisting we “take” DS’s gift. She also does this with hand me down clothes from other relatives sent via her. She rifles through the bag and “decides” what clothes my DS can have all of which must stay at hers. We see a lot of PIL so it’s not a rouse to make us see her. It’s just baffling. Anyone have this?
