It’s a very expensive gift, and just seeing it makes me unhappy.
A few years ago, I purchased a very expensive handbag as a Christmas gift for her. On occasions I’ve been asked to clean their house, and while cleaning I’ve seen the handbag in her closet.It is obvious what transpired: While she and my son bought luxurious gifts for her family, she went shopping in her closet for me.I feel disrespected and unappreciated for everything I do for them .
I hope you can summon up the courage to calmly approach your daughter-in-law about this. Tell her, “This is embarrassing, but I want you to know that on Christmas you regifted to me the bag I gave to you – two years ago. I realize that you and I don’t have a very close relationship, but I do want you to know that this has made me feel sad and somewhat unappreciated. I’ve tried my best to get to know you, but I wish our relationship was on a better footing.
How can I communicate that those things don’t matter to me, and that I’d appreciate a call to meet for a meal somewhere or even a cup of coffee?Road Goes Both WaysYou could attempt to open this up by asking , “Is anyone else here able or willing to host one of our game nights?”
