[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think you're right. Might be where the disconnect is. [b]DH and I spent quite a bit of time picking out our kids' first ornaments. I feel like it makes them less special to have a second version with the year and their names and a horrible picture. If my kid has an ornament for them each year, I want it to be something that my DH and I pick out and something that is well done. [/b]It's something I enjoy and have looked forward to doing for my kids.[/quote]

[quote]My MIL does not read minds so she has no idea that I was annoyed. And my DH agrees with me and is also annoyed![/quote]

If your husband invests "quite a bit of time picking out our kids' first ornaments" and is annoyed with his mother for making similar  -- but not nearly as nice! -- ornaments, he is the tool of the century.

This isn't even first world problems. This is people so full of themselves that they can't accept a simple token from a close relative without seeing it as a threat and a violation of some absurd (no doubt Pinterest-induced) standard of crafty cutesiness. OP, you better thank your lucky stars that the biggest problem you have this holiday season is an inferior ornament. That kind of ingratitude sounds like an invitation to some seriously bad karma.[/quote]
