I have to go shopping today for a birthday present for my G/F's mom. UGH.
I think the best present I could give her is to not show up to her party
tomorrow. Or better yet, throw myself in front of a moving bus.
Seriously, I do not understand the contempt this woman (and to a lesser
extent, her husband) have for me. I have always treated her with respect,
even when my brain is screaming at me to tell her off.
Ok, I had ONE minor slip, but only after she had been treating me like
garbage all day. Usually when she gets like that I either make myself
scarce or go to my 'happy place', but she had been making snide little
comments all day and I got fed up and snapped back. Since then,
she just tends to ignore me until she is forced to acknowledge my presence.
So... what do I get this witch? A new cauldron perhaps?
This is a chance to either score some much-needed points or crank up
the mutual disgust factor a couple of notches (yes, I know - wrong reason
to get a present for someone. ) It can't be anything too expensive, or too
cheap, or too personal, or too impersonal, or.....
Gift cards are
out, BTW; they are 'vulgar' in her opinion.
I do have an idea, I saw something in the little antique shop in town a few
weeks ago. Gotta run it past the G/F first, though.
Anyone else have these kind of issues with their SO's family?
