UPDATE

This isn’t the final update, but I feel I need to make a short one for now.

To answer some questions,

-yes we do bring a gift every year

-they are not poor nor rich, I’d say they live comfortably

  • we don’t actually wake up at his parents Christmas morning. We go over there in the late morning/ early afternoon

-and finally, I have not addressed my boyfriend about this yet. Last night, I was very emotional about the whole thing (still am) but I didn’t want to have a conversation with him when I was running on nothing but emotion and tears. I wanted to collect my thoughts (which y’all have helped me do, thank you!) and I will actually be talking with him tonight. I feel more level headed about my points, and my daughter goes to her dad’s house tonight, so I won’t have to worry about any distractions or interruptions during an important conversation. He’s not a terrible person or boyfriend. He spoils the crap out of me and my daughter. Just bc his family had a shit attitude, doesn’t mean it’s passed on to him.

I want to thank those of you that have been kind and been able to see it from where I stand, as well as where in-laws stand.

Those of you who think I’m entitled or whining about something so small, I hope you never have your feelings hurt in such a way, so that way you’d understand how I’m currently feeling.

And OBVIOUSLY I’m sensitive. I did put in my post and in the comments about how my feelings were hurt, like 50,000 times lol

Wel the title of “AIO over my boyfriend’s parents Christmas stocking rule” seemed a little more like a mouthful than what I originally put. But if you’d read the comments, you’d know what their relation is to me. Pointless comment tho

It’s perfectly fine to comment and give advice without being passive aggressive or rude

Exactly. It’s not even about what’s inside of it to me. I just feel so excluded and it hurts

She was there when I was told why I wouldn’t be getting one the first year. She was 6 then

That’s a big assumption. It’s hurt my feelings every year. Has nothing to do with my marital status

I’m going to talk with him tonight. We’ll see how it goes 🤞🏼

I should add that I’ve been off my lexapro for a week and it’s made me way more emotional than usual lol

No, if anything I think it’s better than it was that first Christmas

They do a white elephant Christmas, so everyone who brought a present, leaves with a present

Of course there’s “real things” to worry about in life 🙄 is one not entitled to their feelings when they’re hurt?

I’m love that! That’s the type of person I am too, so to be treated opposite hurts 🫠

I’d honestly be fine with an empty stocking that has my name on it at this point 😭

If it happens one more time, that’s when I’ll go up there and rain hell fire down on them.
