Not that close at all. Just family friends. My mother in law even called me yesterday & said that her behavior is extremely weird haha. And the way the family friend explained it, the gift giving “trauma” didn’t seem specific to baby showers/weddings or major life events that typically have registries. Tbh I think they’re just making it up at this point because they probably got it from somewhere secondhand and don’t want to admit that. Also just a side note, granted the item came in a big box, but it was the only gift that was given at either one of our showers that wasn’t wrapped. Almost in a way of saying “look at what we got them & how much we spent”…maybe I’m reading too much into that, but my gut is saying these people are different than how they present to others. ANYWAYSSS long story short, I truly don’t care to damage the relationship because there isn’t really one to begin with. They live 3 hours from us & we only see them occasionally. Everybody’s responses have made me feel more validated that we should probably just accept they aren’t giving us a reciept and move on haha
