[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 371005, member: 4264"] Hmmm, Call me cold, but if I really felt nothing could change things I'd probably end up reallllly blacklisted. Because I'd buy a bunch of gifts, wrap them up and stash in the trunk of car. Next time it happened like that, after all the gifts were opened I'd sneak a card with my kids names under the tree. WHen opened it would read: Bet I fooled you! You thought ALL the other kids were getting nice thoughtful gifts and You weren't! How SILLY! You are just as special! Now run to mom/dad, get the trunk key for the car, and find your secret stash of special presents." Goal one: make kids feel the same as all the others Goal two: show the ADULTS that these kids would obviously feel like poopola for being always left behind so to speak I'd probably be uninvited to future gatherings ;) But I'd be okay with that because this kind of thing gets on my nerves lol I'm glad that some in laws are doing better, that has to be a good feeling and bodes well for a possibility of figuring out how to make sure your kids aren't ever feeling less important. Barring that, stock ye trunk ;) [/QUOTE]
