[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you so dramatic about all of this? Take a cue from your husband and parents - you used the word complacent. Be complacent. Chill. Try not to care. They certainly don't.

1. You are not "horrible". You tried one approach, now you're trying another. Relax.

2. MIL cancelled, so what. Even if she has a history of cancelling at the last minute, it doesn't make her a bad person. It makes her a person that's hard to plan things with, which is different.

3. So you don't plan anything. You don't remind, suggest, etc. If there are no plans, that's fine. If somehow plans are made, why on earth would it be your job to think of a gift, or remind anyone else they need to bring one? Don't. The point is to enjoy the togetherness, that's all.

4. Dial the drama WAY DOWN, otherwise you're going to agonize all your life over quibbling little matters.

Pretty much this.

I'm a person that can't show up emptyhanded, but I would not be orchestrating H's gifts. [/quote]
