Mother's Day Gift Question.. Concerning MILs and DH
Do you usually get your MIL's gifts? Dh always goes in with his bro and sis and therefore- that leaves me out.. I get my mom something from me- and I know she doesn't expect anything from DH-- I guess, this system can work- we just get for our own mom's.. but I always feel weird that I don't get MIL something-- although DH's family is very different with presents than mine.. and I know she doesn't expect anything from me.
What's the protocol here? Or is it just dependent upon each person's unique situation?

Re: Mother's Day Gift Question.. Concerning MILs and DH
I guess if it works for you and the mom's are ok with it, then it is ok. But to me, that would be weird. DH and I give gifts together to both parents. Usually I pick them out.

Re: Mother's Day Gift Question.. Concerning MILs and DH
I do always get her a card-- I mean, I feel like DH should be getting a gift from me and him... but, I really don't think MIL cares and it's really more how I feel about the gifts..

Re: Mother's Day Gift Question.. Concerning MILs and DH
If we've ever gone in on gifts with siblings, spouses names are always added to the card

Here too, though I always do the picking out. I would definitely be p!ssed if my name wasn't signed to the card or whatever, even if it was a joint gift from siblings.

Re: Mother's Day Gift Question.. Concerning MILs and DH
No. I don't get involved with any gifts or cards for her anymore. My dh did not send a card either so I am sure he will hear it from her on Sunday.
She barely does anything for my kids so I have no sympathy.

Yeah that's what we do. Gifts to my parents are from me, DH & my brother & gifts to DH's parents are from me & DH. Usually we shop for our own parents, but I think this year I got sucekred into getting flowers for his mother.

Re: Mother's Day Gift Question.. Concerning MILs and DH
My sister and I usually take my mother out for mother's day (before she moved to FL), the guys didn't join us. Now that she's there, we send flowers from all four of us.
