Dear Mil,
Yes, you are very generous. Yes, you give the grandkids lots of presents.
We appreciate every single item you give them.
We are sorry that we disappoint you so much with the gifts we give you. We spend so much time and money looking for something for you, but will never have the spare funds to spend the $200+ you expect should be spent on you each Christmas, Easter, Mothers Day and Birthday.
Most grandma's are happy to receive the kinder tea towel, a hand print or handmade gift. Your disdain is clear. That is not what you want.
You want us to guess what pricey item you currently want to show off to your friends.
It is a shame you can't fit it in your schedule to attend the children's birthdays.
Maybe next year I will get you a gift from Oxfam, you will be devastated, it will nearly ruin your Christmas.
Lovely hugs and kisses
Your DiL
PS I have never asked, but did you grow up near Fountain Lakes?
Oh great, you just reminded me my MiL is coming this weekend, for two weeks.
ReplyDeleteI say get the oxfam gift.
How disappointing for you kids. At the same time, she's doing an awesome job of demonstrating why they should be thankful for what they get.
