[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know anyone who has a MIL who gives good gifts.  The MIL DIL relationship is one of tolerance.  We tolerate each other.  If you have a better relationship with your MIL than one where you tolerate each other, count yourself lucky.  My MIL's gifts this year were awful, just like they are every year.  [/quote]

Mine does!! Always green and the ultimate useful gift, cash! DH was actually annoyed the first time she sent a check and tokd us to buy whatever the kids want. He wanted her to shop for them.[/quote]

Yes, my mother does this.  Since we have very generous other family (sister on my side, SIL on my wife's side) and our own things, the kids have plenty of toys, clothes and gifts in general.  But they also have their own bank accounts and thanks to Grandma, they have very healthy balances.  My mother did this for my now adult nieces and one was able to buy a good used car to take to college.  The other one hasn't used her money yet, but she has a lot of money saved up for whatever she wants to use it for.  We call this the Grandma Fund.  My kids already have a pretty big balance and  they're only preschoolers.[/quote]
