My In-Laws didn’t get us Christmas gifts. This is the first year they didn’t and I cannot figure out why this happened. I asked my husband to pretty please call and ask what the FUCK happened, but he seems to be pussing out on this particular occasion.

You see, it’s not that I care if they didn’t get me a gift, but the fact that I got her some really nice swag all personalized from Etsy, because I thought we were finally getting along better, means that if she didn’t get us anything there’s a whole thing around it.

You know, like they thought we weren’t going to get them anything, even though we ALWAYS got them stuff even when we were so poor we were eating from the food banks. Nothing expensive those years, just a token, but something.

I’m hoping there’s a mistake.

Of course, that doesn’t even compare to the fact that I didn’t get a Merry Christmas or a Thank You for one goddamn gift I bought for my stepdaughter. All $500 worth of gifts I bought her.

Yea Christmas. Thank goodness they’re not my only family and I did get thank you’s and nice gifts from others…but I can’t help but obsess over the negative…I’ll get over it soon. It’s just, you know, bothering me.

Wouldn’t it bother you if out of nowhere you suddenly didn’t get a polite thank you or a gift when it’s been standard operating procedure since you got married years and years ago?

Jerks.
