[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The surgery had been planned for awhile and DS (3) won't be able to be active for a few weeks. MIL knew that I had been buying new toys, books etc. to keep him occupied during his recovery. My parents are local and gave him a bunch of stuff (well, they gave it to me to ration out over the next few weeks). MIL is not local, but we skype regularly and visit a few times per year. I was kind of surprised that did not send anything to DS for his surgery.

My mom especially shows her love by giving gifts so I never know what "normal" is with regard to that. For me, it's not about the gift itself but the thought behind it. It kind of peeves me that MIL didn't so much as send a book. It wouldn't bother me as much if she hadn't just been talking for weeks about the time she put into buying birthday gifts for her other 2 grandchildren this month.

In the scheme of things, is this a big deal? No, of course not. But would anyone else feel kind of hurt/annoyed?

Well, I do think it's a big deal. Your MIL is playing favourites and that's always a big deal. Your husband needs to read her the riot act. And if he doesn't do that, then you need to be the one who does.
