[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. Depressing outcome for BIL 
MERRY DEPRESSMAS! [/quote]

BIL got a new "not-a-gift" TV. And since he refuses to celebrate Christmas, there's no reason to be depressed about missing the festivities.[/quote]

Pretty infuriating he was allowed a “not a gift,” but the toddler was not allowed “not a gift.”

Glad it ended with the kid enjoying a special time with family. [/quote]

And now you've given Larlo the gift of a fractured relationship between your family and his father. Guess who he's gonna choose? [/quote]

We’ve held the same Christmas tradition/celebration in our family for years/decades. We should stop doing so because my sister married an atheist that doesn’t celebrate Christmas? Bil was invited, he was not excluded. He chose to not attend. He received a gift (not a Christmas gift, just a gift at Christmas time) from his mom. My sister made the decision to attend and bil decided to not come. She’s Larlo’s mom, she gets a choice in what her son does, too. If she felt that Larlo should attend and receive a gift, she’s allowed to make that decision. It seems to me bil is fracturing his relationship with his preschool son and extended family by his choice. We didn’t pressure them at all to accept a gift for Larlo after she said they weren’t comfortable with it; sister decided after bil received a tv from his mom that Larlo should not have to go without a gift and fun family time. I am glad she stood up for her son. Otherwise Larlo would be denied something his dad accepted from his own mom under another name. [/quote]

You keep showing how 'right' you are and you may be but nothing that any of you are doing to support their marriage or a harmonious relationship with your family. Anyone with any sense can see where this ends up and none of it is good for Larlo. Enjoy being right. [/quote]

BIL’s mom gave him a random December tv but he wants to deny Larlo a present. OP’s sister is mad about that. OP needs to support BIL’s hypocrisy how, exactly? [/quote]
