[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: While MIL had some fabulous jewelry handed down to SIL the stuff she gave my DDs was truly “junk jewelry” like the kind of 90s era beads on a string type. It was a sort of insult gift. The DDs nicely saying “what is this for?” What is it?[/quote]

I love my beads on a string I found at an estate sale!

Just stop getting offended at every little thing, OP. Channel your grief some other way. Your post reeks of trying to find fault everywhere.

Wtf?  You do not think it’s weird for someone to go through their old crap, pick out something they no longer like, and wrap it as a gift?  For all we know the niece does not wear jewelry.  I agree with you OP, it is an insult gift.  It says I feel obligated to give you something but refuse to spend a dime or even take the time to pick through my used crap to choose something you may like.  To do this close after the death of your daughters father is even worse.

I cannot compare with that. But after a year of not seeing my parents at Christmas, I can say my mom makes Christmas kind of miserable.  She complains the entire time.  Out loud she will say things like “why did you make so much food?”  And then she will whisper insults about our food to my in-laws.  But she’s hard of hearing, so she is not really whispering.  She also is always unhappy with our food because we do not overcook everything like she does.  I am sure she is telling all her sisters how we tried to kill her with “undercooked” meat.  I really wish we could just see them on non-holidays.  But that would break her heart, so we do what we have to do.[/quote]
