So, Me and DH got married in January, my first marriage his second. Before the wedding, they told my DH that they wouldn't be able to give us a wedding present straight away as were skint and waiting until MILs next pay day. Fair enough, didn't think much of it other than, I don't want a huge present or loads of money but a card and a token thoughtful gift would be nice.
Anyway, their dog had puppies which they sold in February - 5 of them at £400 each. MIL then text me to say they had just booked a holiday for the 3 of them (BIL goes too) to Cuba in August!!
Annoyed me but again not overly, until, their anniversary was a few weeks ago, we got them tickets to a show and a bottle of baileys as they both drink it. We were at their house and FIL said, out loud 'you could have at least got us a bottle each so we don't have to share'!!
And it annoyed me so much, like you couldn't even be bothered to get us anything for our wedding (and our daughter who was born 5 years ago - but that's a whole other story) and you have the cheek to moan that we got you one bottle of baileys!
So AIBU to feel a bit miffed about this. Its not about the present exactly, more the complete lack of thought. They didn't help with the wedding at all in the first instance, which is fine, but is the reason I didn't give parent gifts out at the ceremony as I couldn't do the same for them as my parents who helped both financially and with their actual time.
A cousin of mine was really skint at the time (one of my bridesmaids) and she got us this beautiful little cushion (which cant have cost much) that I absolutely love as its so thoughtful.
