[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh no, she copied your DH in for a reason.  Be smart.  Receive the gift, and text her thank you, it was lovely.  Then move on.

The reason I say this is she will use it against you if you do anything other than be gracious.  It gives her an opening to complain to your DH, it gives her an opening to complain to other people about how you are the problem in the relationship.

You don't have to like her or have a relationship with her but treat her like you would an acquaintance with basic courtesy.  It doesn't give her any ammo against you.

Then after you have text a thank you toss the present in the bin.  Then there is nothing she can say to anyone.

My MIL did the same. She would make sure DH saw her do all sorts of nice things after she was nasty and then complained to DH "see I try so hard with her". I dropped the rope, did the minimal I had to when it was required. Plus it seemed to irritate her more when I didn't react.[/quote]

Okay, fine I'll do this. Wish I was clever enough to think of a backhanded thank you that really read like more of an F you. [/quote]
