Subject: Parents who use Father's/Mother's Day as a second Christmas
My MIL is a peach. My DH told me about a time when he was young and made his teenaged single-mother a card in a scrap paper and sealed it in an envelope he found in the trash. She criticized him for giving her a “garbage card”. I truly believe she is stunted emotionally because she’s just as judge mental about any and everything to this day.

OP, I'm just curious, did they give lavish presents to their own parents? If so, was it their choice or do you think they felt obligated?

Wow. You are mean!
+1. Someday your DIL will say mean things about you.

I’d laugh and say I’d keep that in mind after I win the lottery.
