[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So she gave you a shawl she found among her things that she thought you might like. She didn’t try to pass it off as a special gift, based on its presentation in a plain bag. Just because it’s not new doesn’t mean it’s not a gift. What am I missing? What’s the problem here?[/quote] Oh come on! She said it was Xmas gift, didn't give OP a gift at Christmas, and has a history of giving OP gifts that make it clear she thinks of her as an afterthought if at all. OP isn't saying that it's a deliberate nasty-gram; she's saying her MIL clearly telegraphs her lack of enthusiasm for her through these gifts, and it's unnecessary and hurts her feelings.[/quote] This is pretty much it. One year she gave DH a Costco pack of Sensodyne (toothpaste for sensitive gums), but it had two tubes missing and then taped shut with masking tape. She told him it was his Xmas gift. So I guess I shouldn't take it personally. [/quote]
