[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  here is an update.  Kids have a four day break from school this weekend so mother in law got tickets last week to come here.  Recall sister in law previously told me the bought the present and already shipped it to me and days later said she shipped it to herself?  Well, mother is law called tonight to say she asked my sister in law (her daughter) if she could swing by for the gifts since she was coming here.  Sister in law said she hasn't bought them yet.  [b]WTF with the lies? [/b] [/quote]

I don't know, is she typically a liar? Is she usually on the up and up, and therefore this behavior surprises you? If a relative says they have a gift for me, but never gives it to me (or my child), I just forget about it. I would never make an issue out of it. There are many reasons a person might not give you a gift, even if she said she would...maybe she can't afford it, maybe she's in a really stressful situation and therefore is procrastinating, maybe she seriously can't remember to buy it, maybe she knows she's digging herself deeper into this hole and is embarrassed. The fact is, nobody owes your child a gift regardless of the situation.[/quote]
