[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I consider this my husband's job and I remind him of that. If he forgets/doesn't follow through, that's on him.[/quote] This. I used to be the one planning and shopping and wrapping and generally felt under appreciated by both DH and ILs. I dropped the rope. I would still remind DH, but he’d often forget. A couple years ago he decided to tell ILs we wouldn’t be doing adult gifts anymore, and we’d instead just do nice dinners or experiences, so I guess he hated the mental load and decided to drop the rope, too! ;)[/quote] Same story here. After having kids 10 years ago, I dropped the rope on this because I had too much going on. I am sure his mother has been offended by some of his gifts or lack of gifts. But I don't care. My family doesn't do much gift giving between adults, and that's a solution that's been proposed many many times. [/quote]
