Just that really. If she didn’t get me something it’s reasonable to do the same back? Been with dh almost 20 years and always done presents so no idea why she suddenly stopped but I’m hoping to take advantage of it as cba to do it tbh.

Why has she suddenly stopped? How old is she? Could there be any beginnings of cognitive impairment/ dementia?

She’s not your mum. Leave it to her son to sort out.

Let your husband know that you have now resigned from this particular piece of wifework, he can pick it up or not as he chooses.

Why are you doing it? It’s his mother..

How many years has she not got you a gift? Surely DH could ask her why she didn’t get you a gift this year?

I wouldn’t be doing it at all. Bloody wifework.

It is DH Mum, he can do it.
