MIL has a sister that lives in VA. Very nice lady. I ordered her a print of Abe for Christmas and it got ruined (Abe found it and tried to eat it). I've been meaning to order a new one but I keep forgetting...I'm not so good at 1. remembering things and 2. etiquette kind of stuff.
Apparently MIL is really upset and has been harping on Seth (calling and emailing every day) for the past two weeks that I need to have the picture printed and she will have it framed. It is a friggin 5x7 photo!!! Now FIL is in on it and calling Seth to tell him he needs to have me do it.
What I want to know is why the do they care??? I'm the one that looks bad for not sending a gift.
This is the kind of crap that makes me want to cut ties with a person and if it weren't for Seth they wouldn't be seeing my kid for all the friggin drama they bring into my life.
I don't need it.
And a side note to reiterate my point of drama. MIL says to me the other day, "You know who is hooked on drugs?" UM. No. And I don't want to know. It isn't my business. Of course she told me and the whole story.
Re: I might throttle MIL.
That is annoying! Could you email her the picture and tell her if she needs it immediately, she can get it printed herself, otherwise you'll get to it when you're able?

Agree. And who the heck spends all her time worrying over something so dumb?
haha Kristy-- that's great
My MIL will remind us to get presents for family members/ write thank you cards all the time. We aren't 10.
Just send Kristy's image to MIL and she'll get the hint. :-P
Seriously, she is blowing the photo out of proportion and could easily take care of the gift herself if it is so important to her.
This is what I'm thinking. I'm all for a MIL rant, but she may just really want her sister to have a picture of the handsome little guy
Wow, Kristy! What a great find! This is my new mantra!
