Is this present having a dig at me

[Welshlavalove]

Don’t really see partners mum since covid as lives a couple of hours away and she never travels . Previously it was small talk every few months . She came for Christmas lunch and this was my present . Aibu in thinking she is far shaming me ? When ever she sees her slightly overweight son she makes comments about how he looks pregnant . I used to run a lot don’t now .

Buy her an ice pack next year in the shape of a heart!

The bitch. My (late) MIL was similar, used to say I was fat even when I weighed 9st! Now, I am obese but she's no longer here to see it

If you'd got it for yourself, then it'd be ok. ( I personally am one step closer to being a mermaid 😬). But I'd be a bit sneeped too if someone had given it to me as a gift. Maybe she's just not very ' aware' of how it may make you feel? 😳

Crikey! It’s a bad enough “joke@ but to put a sentiment like that on a cushion and then gift it to someone is all-out weird.

Although… I’m sure if you can find where she got it from, they probably do one with a tasteless joke about a monster-in-law you could get for her!

Wow….just wow 😟

I don't even know where to go to start on this.

What did you say @Welshlavalove when you opened it?

No way would I send it to the charity shop, who'd buy it?

Wow....bitchy!!

Nasty. I would have great satisfaction burning it.

Just say ‘so this is a re-gift then? , or are you intentionally being a cow ?

"Are you taking it to the charity shop or do I have to?"

Did someone actually say this was hilarious??

It’s not even mildly amusing. Just utterly naff.

Very unkind from a warped sense of humor, not funny, and personal attack.

Would say something to let giver know this went below the line, & unappreciated.

I think that poster meant the idea that anyone thought this was a suitable present is hilarious.

What a bitch She would ha e got that thrown back at her and been on her own Christmas Day when I threw her out !

One Christmas I got a box set from my ex’s mother with a small wine and glass and the book ‘The birch’ from Jackie Collins. Now I think she bought it on a shopping trip with her friends wheee they all got it as a fun gift for other people. I reckon her reasoning was that I like books but considering the fact we didn’t get on that well, it sort of ruined my day. I think gifts like that are really inappropriate

What did your dh say about it

Other half thought but weird but annoyed when I said I was upset

Wow. So, so rude! Totally understand why you are annoyed!

I don't get what was wrong with your gift @Salonikia ?

@JacquelineCarlyle

I don't get what was wrong with your gift *@Salonikia* ?

I think the title was not "the birch"...

@Eslteacher06

I'd save it for her birthday and regift it to her. Mehehe

EXACTLY!

YANBU it looks like something my passive aggressive late MIL would buy for me.

Its weird but would make me laugh but my mil has same humour and same waistline lol

Bit harsh if you don't share same sense of humour etc

That’s awful. Absolutely awful.
