[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both our moms sent too many gifts for the kids for Christmas after I told them we don’t need more toys.  They also expect me to wrap the gifts for the kids.  My kids are 3 months and 2 years.  I can usually get them down at the same time for a nap once a day and that’s  when I shower and eat lunch.  Really would prefer the retired folks wrap their own gifts for the kids…. [/quote]

Wait, are these people staying with you or going to be there when the kids open the gifts? If so, I’d hand them some wrapping paper, scissors and tape. There’s no way I’d wrap their gifts. [/quote]

No they visited before Thanksgiving (we were thinking there would be a surge at Thanksgiving and Christmas).  I know I’m being petty but I needed a safe space to vent.[/quote]

NP. How would they know if you didn’t just stick a bow on the gift and hand it to a 2yo? DON’T TAKE THIS ON, and if you do, don’t “vent” to anyone but yourself. You’re being ridiculous.[/quote]

I’m getting judged for venting on the petty grievances thread?![/quote]

Correct. Come with a legit grievance. We’re not into manufactured martyr-complex complaining here on DCUM. [/quote]

I think my legit grievance is when people act like jerks and say complaints aren’t serious enough to make the cut for the petty complaint thread.

My petty complaint is that no one wants to go see Gremlins with me at the theater that has couches and serves root beer floats. Also, I have to repaint my living room because I matched the paint to the wrong color and it looks hideous, and Sunday is the only day I can do it without taking an extra day off work.  [/quote]
