Am I being over sensitive about this?

[devilsavacado]

MIL always sends the children a cheque and some clothes for their birthday and christmas.
DH also recieves a cheque and clothes for his birthday and christmas.

I usually get a jumper for christmas,well for the last 4 years but nothing on my birthday even though the last 2 years we were staying at her house on a summer visit.

She has just sent a parcel with a jumper each for the children and a really expensive boxed shirt for DH.

Rang DH to tell him and he asked if she had sent me anything .

I said no and he said "Oh,nevermind"

I know I am being childish about this after all it's her son and her grandchildren and I am only the daughter in law but felt a bit hurt by this.

Totally unreasonable I suspect.

I am of a completely different view to everyone else!

If your MIL used to send you birthday pressie then suddenly stopped, YANBU.

If she has never done it well that's different.

My MIL never gets me a birthday pressie and i wouldn't expect one. My parents don't get DH a birthday pressie. Our own parents buy us presents obviously and we all get each other something at xmas.

It never crossed my mind to get narked about it.

We don't buy presents for each others parents either - I get something for, say, my mum and don't really say who it's from, although DH and DD will sign the card. She knows the gift is from me. Ditto with DH parents. And wouldn't it get a bit out of hand - DH has 5 siblings I would neither want nor expect a present from each of them and i couldn't be arsed to get them all presents either, DH handles all that.

Maybe we are just odd...
