[quote=Anonymous]I literally went to a women’s event at work on this topic a number of years ago. My fave part was one woman said she always had to take her kids to bday parties (before they were old enough to drop off) and then one kid had an NBA player dad and her husband said he’d do that party and she said - no way. You didn’t do any others so you don’t get to do this one now. I still laugh about that. Both my husband and I work and I don’t think it’s my job to buy gifts for all of his family. That said - we’ve been married 16 years. I have tried to say, it’s your family and you’re in charge of getting them gifts. And, he doesn’t. And I don’t care if it makes me look bad because the “woman” is the one who is supposed to do it. That said - in my “old age” (I’m 41), I decided that I actually do care about his family and I’m just going to get them their gifts because I want to - not because I’m the woman and I have to. GL.
