B.S.  If someone came up to her DH in a store and intentionally hit him with a cart, should she stand off to the side and say nothing?  If someone hurts someone I love, I got their back.  [b]Watching this selfish guy treat his father, sister and grandparents with disdain is hurtful[/b].  [/quote]

We don't know if those people are hurt by the stepson's lack of gift-giving or not; it sounds like they're fine with it, otherwise they would speak up themselves. Why does OP think she has to save these people, who are adults? It's OP who is bent out of shape, and she ruined her relationship with her stepson by insulting him about his lack of gifts instead of teaching him to bring gifts. That's really, really not nice at all. She sounds horrible. If I were the stepson I would stop going and tell everyone that OP insulted him and his feelings just aren't in it anymore because of her. See how much of a protector and savior she looks like then.

OP is mean.[/quote]
