[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ex-MIL believes strongly in sorting people into categories when it comes to gifts. So my XH always gets things with guitars on them even though he hasn't touched a guitar in decades. His sister once expressed a desire to have a turtle when she was like 9 and now she is in her 30s and everything she has received from her mother for the last 20 years has had a turtle on it. You get the idea.

So I enter the picture and one of the first things she learns about me is that I'm Jewish (she's Catholic). And so that became my thing. I had no idea they slapped Jewish stars and menorahs on so many pieces of crap until I met this woman. Seriously, I cannot figure out where she found this stuff. Her crowning achievement was a cat scratching post shaped like a menorah (I have never owned a cat in my life). [/quote]

I feel you, pp. I am the lone Christian DIL in the family so all the Christmas ornaments, cookies, candies and gifts MIL receives are passed along to us. We keep the good stuff and donate the rest. [/quote]
