OMFG. Quit already.

**Stinky!**

H and I told MIL, sFIL and Little Bro last Christmas that, since LB was turning 20 in March, we weren't going to get him any Xmas gifts anymore. We only give gifts to our siblings & nephews who are under 20. 

At the time, they were all fine with it.

But since October, MIL's been dropping hints about what we should get not only LB, but also the PPP. We reiterated our no-gifts-after-20 policy and that was that. We also told them not to get us anything because of the move, and because we just don't want any useless schit from them.

MIL was just in here & we were discussing Xmas plans since they're likely to change because of the weather.

She said that she wants to be sure that we see LB, his gf, and the PPP because they've all gotten us gifts.

I looked at her and said, "We told them not to get us anything. That's fine if they want to come over and hang out, but *we don't want anything*."

Her: Well, they got you small stuff. And I'm sure you guys have things for them.

I just looked at her. H and I both want to pull our hair out. If they want to get us stuff, WHATEVER. But don't try to guilt-trip us into reciprocating. You should give a gift because you want to, not because someone else thinks you should.

When they give you the gifts excuse yourself to another room, throw said gifts in a bag, and give it to them while saying "what a coincidence! I got you the same thing!"

**O-Face**

Ergggh.  She's dumb as a rock.

**Stinky!**

That's a good plan, BC.

God Stinky, we may have the same MIL. My MIL is doing the same thing to us with little BIL. He's 18 and will be 19 in feb. I don't buy gifts for adults, and so we decided to do a naughty santa exchange. Then MIL calls me last Friday saying she doesn't want to do the naughty santa because little BIL wont get a good gift. Um, okay. Then she wanted to do the exchange, but have us all buy little BIL something in addition. Um, feck that. He's an adult with a job. He can buy his own crap. That's when H and I decided to go to Reno for Christmas. But then I talked with SIL and she didn't want to be alone with *them* on Christmas, so we're staying. And we're bring enough gifts for naughty santa and that's IT.
