My future MIL is such a ungrateful person

[sheena1]

Hi I know people post on here all the time about there mother in laws but m fmil just takes the biscuit lol

At Christmas we gave her a Home made calender with kids pic on and a flower (posetta) and sweets she hardly phones so we dont really know what she is up to we gave my sil a bottle of morgans letre bottle well my mil took the huff she said we never put much thought into her present and why bother buyin her sweets whens shes on a diet wtf we're not phsycic so we didn't know

its my partner and kids i am worried about i know my dp hasn't a very close relationship with his parents we haven't heard from her since end of november she hasn't even phond to wish him and kids a merry christmas 6 days ago i am starting to get angry as she is acting like a moody huffy child who is jealous cause she didn't get what she wanted

what do i do do i send her a email and tell her how we feel or do we just leave it and move on i feel sorry for my dp he has this as a mother

Narky arse here; as always I'd ignore people who act like that.

How much more thought can be given than giving a home-made present?? Daft old moo - ignore her childish ways (although I understand your concerns from your DP's point of view).

Let her get on with it.

You'll only be made to be looked that the villan if you tell her how you feel.

I would be inclined to send her a card or an email casually asking if she had a nice christmas and did she like the gifts. Say you have been a bit worried after not hearing from her and didn't know whether she had received the pressie.
See how she responds and take it from there maybe.
Did she send the children anything for Christmas? If so make a point of getting them to write thank you cards to show her how its done

Did you phone her to wish her a merry Xmas? Not being nasty, but is there a reason why she should phone and not your dp?

On the other hand, I agree with 12stone as there really isn't a better way of showing you're thinking of someone than making them something, and most gps would be delighted with something made by their gcs.

Perhaps your dp could be persuaded to phone her to wish her happy new year?

We tried to phone her after being engaged for 1 hr it eventually wrang and she never picked up we know for a fact she was in

i am the typpe of person who if i get a present im grateful whether its a bag of sweets or a bottle of alcohol i never think oh y did they get more than me

she got the kids a present but said to sil if that was all they were giving us talkin about me and her ds ) then i wouldn't have bothered gettin themm anything :O when she does phone she nevr asks how kids are or anything she always brags about sil 2 kids its like graham and his kids dont matter n franctly im sick of it

My MIL cried when we gave her a homemade calendar, she phoned us straight away to say how much she loved it. Your MIL sounds a bit grim and I would step back from her as much as possible. Sorry, didnt mean to gloat about mine, she has her quirks!

its ok my mum cried too wen we gave her the same one but mil is just a diff kettle of fish i have sent her a email saying thankyou for her presents to us and hope she liked hers lets see how long it takes her to reply

hope u all have a happy new year xx
