[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious about this. Do MILs blame their DILs for the lack of gifts on mothers day or other holidays? I 100% take over Christmas and birthdays. DH doesn't think his mom needs gifts on Valentines Day or Mothers Day, so she only gets a card.[/quote] Depends how the MIL was raised. If she had handled all the gift-giving to her in-laws (like mine), she would think her DIL was lazy. My MIL was a SAHM until her kids were out of elementary and then worked FT as a WOHM so she has high expectations. [/quote] Similar. MIL several times told both me and DH what she had to do to satisfy her inlaws and said that we should be expected to do the same. Um, just because you were a doormat doesn't mean the same for us. To answer the OP, no MIL doesn't blame me because DH handles all gift giving for his family.[/quote]
