[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is responsible for the gift buying for his family and every year on December 23, he’s running around trying to find something for his mom. I usually have no idea what he got until I see her opening it, and every year, without fail, she makes a point of thanking me first and very directly, and I honestly have no idea if it’s because she assumed I bought it, or if she’s throwing shade because she knows I didn’t and she can’t believe I had the audacity to expect her son to lift a finger.[/quote] And do you clearly and directly say back, “Mary, Tom bought this for you. He thought you’d enjoy it. He always buys Christmas presents for you, Fred, and Alice and the kids. I don’t want to take credit!”[/quote] No, I smile and say “you’re welcome!” because the gift is from all of us, only he has to do the shopping.[/quote]
