today I get an email from my BIL with his new address. In a joking manner he writes that gifts and money is welcome.
So I emailed him back.. telling him.. speaking of gifts did you get your Christmas gift from us. He blames it on not seeing his brother. Sam's other brother yet. Well let me tell you.. (before you say Christmas is about giving) that every year we have sent his brother, his other brother, his wife, his daughter, his 4 stepkids.. ALL gifts. It gets expensive. They never remember my kids. They never remember their birthdays. I mean.. come on. I don't even worry about them getting Sam and I anything. But my kids. These are their only nephews. There aren't a whole handful to give to.
Every year.. he says the gifts are on their way. Then when and if we EVER get something.. they are about 6 sizes to big. I'm vowing that next year.. they will not get one thing from us. Call that selfish. But I could be saving that hard earned money on my own kids. These guys make damn good money. damn good!! We have a house, two car payments, daycare, and on and on. But we still try and give a little bit of something.
Sorry for the vent.. just was getting on my last nerve. :) ok.. go ahead and call me names.

*sigh* That bites. I'm sorry you feel that way. It is hard when people aren't grateful. ((hugs))
I hope other than that you have a great day!
I can definetly relate hun. The only person on J's side that got Little Man anything was his Nana. Even though I sent gifts for his great-grandmother and his aunts. I've never gotten anything from them so I've come to never expect anything. But I thought surely they'd do something for LM considering the circumstances with J.
And hey I tagged ya, are you gonna play?
Just don;t do it next year..a.t all! by extra for your kids!
