Do any of you have this problem?
My inlaws (mil) drill my kids about what is the one thing you really want for Christmas? Santa brings them what they really want. Every year I go through the same thing. Me and my husband give them a list of stuff we are not getting them for Christmas that they do want. It is never good enough she HAS to get the one big thing. I told her, just recently, Santa gets them what they really want other wise whats the purpose of Santa. I also made it clear twice we already got them everything. She has to dig and dig and ******* dig until she gets them the best, the one thing. I am trying very hard to not blow up sorry for that language. I just don't understand why she can't just step down and realize any of this ad be the grand parent, Santa comes to our house. I am at whits end. She does stuff like this, it pisses me off. Why does she have to be the one.
Quoting her, "What is the one true thing that you really want Santa to bring you, if you could just think of one thing what would it be?" (After we allready told them things they wanted)
I said, "Santa is able to bring them what they really want this year." "Santa already got them what was one their list." "Santa is bringing them exaclty what they asked for and just said to you." Now this is what I said when the kids weren't listening, "We got them everything already, everything they just said we got them."
Her, "Oh well they meantioned...." Me," We got it allready"
Some things we got I told DH do not meantion these to her or she'll go out and get them too.
I just don't understand I really don't WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY??????

Wow, she sounds rather rude to put it nicely. Why isnt your DH stepping up and putting her in her place?? Maybe if you get lucky the kids will get sick and cant go to her house lol. Good luck!

I thought my DH understood this year. But she called the other day to say she got my DS something that allready got and told her we were getting it. He gets on the phone with he and when he gets off he says, "Well she got a really good deal, and it is not the same exact one." Now he will have two. Making any sense? I was ready to throw myself out the window.
I told him I didn't want to go. He said if I don't go he won't go. I said no you and the kids just go. I don't want to sit there with a fake smile and act like no of this bothers me. Because if I do act like it bothers my she'll start balling her eyes out about how horrible I am. Then he starts in on his feelings and how he will feel if I don't go.
So once again long pathetic story of my life it does not matter how I feel.

And she is rude.
