[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but they ignore who I am completely and get me what they like. Like Vera Bradley-type bags or dark chocolates even though they know I only like milk chocolate. They even got me nuts when they know I am allergic. I wish they would get me nothing rather than the chore of donating or giving it away via a Facebook swap group.[/quote]

This. But this year they ignored my birthday because it was apparently my fault our family wouldn’t get on a cross country flight to visit them during a pandemic. And now my MIL has announced no more gifts, which I’ve been begging for for years, so that’s cool. Of course, she announced this after we already sent them their birthday and Christmas gifts for this year. But my FIL does not agree, so he will still be getting my husband a gift. I was never included in that weird exchange where his parents (married still) each sent him a gift, separately, but the kids and I got a joint gift from them. It’s unclear if the no gifts edict extends to our children as well (young kids- elementary age). [/quote]
