So do I tell BIL and risk embarrassing DH?

[MadameCastafiore]

BIL buys DH a Jazz compilation every year for xmas and b'day - we have to buy him exactely what he wants and his wife and kid - but DH hates jazz - all CDs are still in cellophane in CD cabinet and we are of course looking forward to receiving another one soon.

Last night I told DH that I would be telling his brother that he doesn;t even like jazz and I would be wrapping them up one by one and returning them to him as gifts for the next 20 or so years. He has forbade me from doing so or even saying that he doesn;t like jazz.

WWYD?

His brother and I aren't best of friends by the way and the last CD that he gave DH was a freebie from the newspaper which I think stinks.

So do I yell at him MrCastafiore Hates Jazz or just keep my big mouth shut?

I would try and stay positive and suggest an alternative: MrCastafiore would love X cd this year.

Hilarious
Tell him

We all (God knows why) though French bil loved whiskey and got him a nice bottle every year for years. About 3 years ago he admitted he can't abide it. How we chortled.

God who are you Moondog - it is French BIL we are talking about here too!

My French bil very lovely and has tonmnes of kids.Oh and couldn't give two hoots about pressies so you are safe.

Mine isn't lovely and has one awful kid and cares very much about pressies - would you like to swap?

Er.....no.

You say that you have to buy your BIL exactly what he wants. How does that work? Does he email you a list? If so just respond in kind. Simple, no?

Why don't you swap your dh's Jazz cds with Moondog's very lovely french uncle for his whisky assuming he likes Jazz.

*BIL I mean not uncle!

If your Dh has asked you not to, then don't. I would sell them, or at least pack them in the attic, but recognise this is not civilised.

I have an R&B classics I got free in a newspaper last year ,I will happily send it along so you can give it to your BIL .

I farking hate jazz it actually makes me shudder.

Ooohhh what a good idea - swap with Moondog or get Ebaying!

You don't need to tell him your dh does not like jazz.

Just email with your present list. You could just say that you have so many jazz cd's that you do not need anymore.

would say however he informs you of his present desires I would reply in kind as he obviuosly feels this is socilly acceptable!!

IF your DH isn't bothered, why is it bothering you? Just ebay the things and don't worry about it.
