[quote=Anonymous] Our family lives overseas, and while the grandparents send something every year, the rest do not unless we visit them at Christmas. It's not blackmail, but part of the difficulty of having family overseas. However in your case, it does sound as if MIL goes out of her way to send a futile and passive-aggressive message. I would not call her out on it when she launches into her speech: "Yes MIL, I understand that you are much more generous when you know your gift recipients are actually coming for Christmas. My daughter will certainly notice as she grows older, and it will probably not be fun for her." [/quote]
