Christmas

Well my mother-in-law told me that she was not getting us a present this year, she didn't last year so what was new about this?   She would get presents for her 'step-grandchildren'.   Why?   They do not give a damn about her!   When was the last time they gave her a present or even remembered her existence?   I am a little pissed off because, we my husband and I supply the Christmas Dinner and drinks.   Yeah we buy the turkey and extras  and the booze plus give presents, every bloody year.  Yeah we get the 'oh you shouldn't have' crap but if we didn't we are 'oh they forgot me' bull shit.   Really is it too much to ask for say a £5.00 gift just to be thank for spending £100 for her Christmas enjoyment?   She is not my mother and I am really beginning to resent having to put myself out for her.   But then I am fed up with my husband.  Thank God for the dog, him I love.
