[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - my husbands grandparents called to say that my MIL asked them for $75 for Build-a-Bear gift cards that she told them I said that the kids wanted. They told her they cannot afford that (they really can't), but agreed to it anyway. Apparently my MIL told the entire family that our kids wanted this huge gift card to the build-a-bear place. We clearly did not want this, nor did we need the family to spend so much of them. They all do not have much money and this was way too much. She only bought the gift cards because she got special gas points. She told this to the grandparents. Thus, she used all of the families money on something that she wanted to buy (to get 4 times the gas points at Kroger) when I asked her not to. Why am I bitchy to say that they did not want those things? She asked what to get the kids. I said it did not matter, but she pushed and pushed. Had she spent some outrageous amount on themselves, then so be it. But, she included the entire family and got as much money out of them as possible all so she could get extra gas points. I think that is very selfish.[/quote]

Ps how weird (and rude) that your grandparents tell you they can't afford a gift but bought it anyway. [/quote]
