[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsmith123]If you're sending gifts and not hearing anything about them, stop sending gifts.[/quote]

I hate the gift exchange for nieces and nephews especially now that they’re older and buying cute toys and outfits is no longer fun). I don’t know what they want, and SIL just says send a gift card.

I personally endured DH family practices but said I was going to stop when the kid turned 18. On my  nephew 18th birthday  I sent him a HB text. My DD turns 17 later thus year and I’m crossing my fingers SIL doesn’t send her a gift.  But really hoping she gets the picture after I send her 12yo something but don’t  send nephew a 19yo gift either. I’m truly done.

Even last year she  texted my DD and asked what she wanted for her birthday. My DD sent her a thanks text back when the gift arrived. I want DIL to realize  that I’m out if it. That she should not give a gift to a child hoping the mom reciprocates. I’m not even acknowledging them anymore. (I do think SIL just enjoys giving gifts, but I still want it to stop soon. ) [/quote]
