To have gotten MIL a gift from our child?

[Onegift]

I'm quite close to my MIL and not long ago she helped out quite a bit with mine and DHs child when they were ill but we desperately needed to go to work still.

As a thank you I got a little present made from a local seller and it was engraved to Grandma lots of love X (our child's name) and have given it to her alongside her main Christmas gift from us all. Item was bought solely from my own money (me and DH have separate disposable to buy what we like with after bills ect).

My husband has older DC too (large age gap, our DC is in nursery, DSC in secondary).

AIBU to have gotten a separate gift for MIL from just our child?

I've just had my 3rd baby. I've organised a couple of gifts from her (personalised baubles, foot and hand print pottery) for my parents and my husband. I've also got them.all other presents. The only ones specifically 'from' any of us are the ones 'from' the baby. I'm not bothered that my eldest 2 haven't given them anything specifically from them! (The baby has presents for my eldest 2 as well)

I have a Fabulous MiL and my 2 adult sons, who are not biologically her dgc buy her lovely Xmas gifts and go up and visit her under there own steam. She has always treated them exactly the same as her own biological dgc and my DC love her. If I mention to one of my son's I am going up to see MiL they put money into my bank account and ask me to take her flowers from them. Your DH is being an idiot. Teens are old enough to be choosing their own gift to their DGM.

Well aren't you just full of the Christmas spirit...?

If you're going to be a grammar snob then don't be using "U" instead of "You".

It's a nice thing to do and I expect she'll treasure it

Can see DHs point, bit silly tho. Next year, get something from all of them just to avoid any fuss, and this year, tell MIL it's a thank you for helping

I know you were going to say he'd got the hump because it was just from the 1 dc

Yanbu

That's you, not u 😉

They aren't your DCs, if he wants them to buy a present for MiL he needs to sort it himself.

You did a lovely thing from YOUR child. No need to involve his from another relationship in this case.
