[QUOTE="Jena, post: 227057, member: 4514"] hi i can see part of your point. yet at the end of the day the way i see it, it's not about obligation it's about making children feel welcome and not upsetting them. there was no reason for what they did. they knew what they did and they didn't care. best is they know how i've struggled with difficult child. it was thoughtless without a doubt, although they are not obligated to give to my children (and yes we brought everyone great gifts by the way. i picked them all out with-kids) it is the "right" thing to do and yes I do expect them to do the "right" thing quite honestly. I do the right thing by their grandchildren everytiem i'm with them, I love those grandchildren of their's and treat them as if they were my own and they know that. the kids are always hanging on me each holiday not boyfriend. so, thanks for the different perspective yet to me they messed up. it hurt my kids and i wont' allow anyone to do that, not an option for me.... they just wanna fit in is all. best was the zero thought that went into the gifts, that's what killed me most of all.
