[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your mom is being rude.  [/quote]
This. And to the naysayers, can you even imagine sitting there on Christmas, opening your $75 gift card as you watch BOTH your step siblings opening $1000+ presents, and your own mom being happy about that? How would YOU feel? You’d honestly feel ok and not the least bit hurt? [/quote]

But what would be the point of getting the OP a $1000 gift just for the sake of appearances? Her stepdad doesn't sound involved in her life and he isnt under any obligation to get her anything. She doesnt sound like she has contributed anything to her mom and stepdad beyond gifting in the past. It sounds like she only did so hoping to get the kind of gifts that her stepsisters are getting. She's taking it personally when she shouldn't. If her mom was paying for these gifts, then I say it's ok to feel resentful. But why should OP's mom harrass her DH to get a Macbook for a daughter she happens to have and isnt his????

There is nothing wrong with OP being upset.

Mom should not be bragging to her about the expensive gifts and trips, and definitely should not rub salt in the wound by asking her to help pick out more gifts for them.[/quote]
