[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dunno...you're part of the family and may have discussed it with dh? Or, the woman raised your spouse whom you presumably love?[/quote]

Why would either being a part of a family I met seven years ago or loving someone I met seven years ago put me in charge of buying a gift for someone who literally came out of my MIL’s body? [/quote]

I never understand a lot of these arguments. So many people get on a soapbox against buying a gift for their in-laws - Mother’s Day, Christmas, etc.

And some of these same people, are on here later asking about what gift to give a teacher, or ideas for their son’s  girlfriend gift, or what gift to buy a niece or nephew, etc.

If you can donate or buy a gift for a coworker, a teacher, the bus driver, an angel on a charity tree… then why can’t we be bothered to think about a token gift for our mother-in-law, an older lady, who presumably did maybe just one good thing ever in her life - like being the sole reason your spouse is here on earth. You don’t have to love her; you don’t have to even like her, But she’s human or at least you are and it’s the Christmas season.
