Re: Did the DIL post get DD?
I still had it up:
Daughter in law
Anyone have an opinion as to what it means when my "new" daughter-in-law didn't send me or my daughter a thank you for several bridal shower gifts. I attended two showers for her and provided the favors for both showers. I know that she sent out thank yous to those family and friends of mine that attended the one shower. Do you think she is sending a subliminal message. I would give her the benefit of the doubt and think that perhaps it got lost in the mail, but two thanks yous getting lost...chances are not.
She has always told my son that I don't like her and that she doesn't approve of my daughter's lifestyle. My daughter is a productive member of society, holding down a full-time job, a home owner. She has is an exceptional teacher and I've had strangers in her condo unit tell me what a wonderful daughter I have. Is my daughter in law for real.
Did she say thank you in person? If not then she is just being rude.
What exactly does she not approve of about your daughter's lifestyle?
Maybe she simply has not sent yours yet or perhaps she's given you a verbal thanks and therefore, that suffices for a thank you; there fore she is not sending a handwritten one.
I am old school; for things like a shower, a written thanks is required.
Set the record straight: if you do indeed like her, I suggest you sit her down and have a talk with her. Let her know how much her assesment of you hurts. I dunno; maybe she's somehow getting the idea that you don't like her. Only you know for sure if you like her or not.
It means she's rude.
Stop trying to read subliminal messages into her behavior. She didn't sent a thank you because she's rude. Nothing more than that. Doesn't mean she hates you, or your daughter. You are stirring up trouble here where there isn't any, and frankly if she didn't like you I don't think I'd be surprised. Reading 'messages' into people's behavior is asinine.
