[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP and I got it.  I got it.  I overreacted and like I said, will move on from this.  But - for those pps that keep saying she was texting to see if they could stop by for a visit.  No- it was VERY clear that they were NOT checking about visiting.  At all.  The text was asking about whether they could do exactly what they did - drop off the gift - not visit - drop off.  I didn't go into details in case my SIL reads DCUM, but she specifically said in her text they are leaving that morning, and that they wanted to drop off the gift.

I posted on here to get a check on my (over)reaction.  I got that.  Thanks.  but WTH does she even text and ask if she was going to do it anyway?  (and I'm not going to go into the details of the text, but there was no request for a visit, chat, sit-down, whatever - it was explicitly about dropping off the gift).[/quote]

Oh, OP, you strike me as the type who, if SIL hadn’t dropped off the gift, you would be complaining in a week that she HADN’T dropped off the grift, but they ooonnnnllllyyyy live *seven* minutes away.

The fact that your SIL DROPPED OFF a gift should be low on your radar of problems in life.

If I texted my brother to ask about dropping off a gift for my niece, I’d basically be asking if he had time for a quick chat and coffee. I usually don’t expect to have to drive by. I’d probably even use the word “drop off”, because we are all reasonable people, and as we both had things to do (me travelling, him a birthday party to prep) this would mean a quick hello/goodbye, a quick cup of coffee, and a happy birthday to the birthday person. If that didn’t work, I wouldn’t automatically assume that means I am banned from his property for 48 hours and could not put the gift in the mailbox at a time I figured everyone else was occupied anyway, as a suprise for my niece.

Yes, but you're not the one that texted me.  And as I said, there was more in the text (that I'm not disclosing here) that made it clear it was not for a visit - even a quick chat, coffee, etc. (don't know how many more ways I can say this)

And you're wrong about me complaining about her not dropping off a gift (or not even giving a gift). [/quote]
