[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]15:11 again -- I wrote that your DH can absolutely participate equally in shopping for your kids' presents, but I want to add that you can also help him out with a present for your MIL. How hard is it to frame an adorable picture of your kids and order up a wine-and-cheese-of-the-month club membership?  [b]The real issue here is why you two aren't on the same team.  That's the whole point of marriage, isn't it?[/b]     [/quote]

Agree re: the point of marriage, but OP's DH doesn't want to work as a team.  He wants to do what he wants to do, and have OP work around that.

Right?[/quote]

The thing is, we don't [/b]know[b] that.  There are 2 sides to every story -- especially in a marriage.  And, in any case, somebody has to be the grown-up here.  I'm wondering what would happen if OP said to DH, "Let's pick a night when we can talk about Christmas presents after DC is tucked into bed.  We'll have a bottle of wine, fire up that internet thang, whip out the plastic and go to town.  Whadda ya say, honey?"  [/quote]
