My in laws live on the West Coast, my husband and I live on
the East Coast. In our marriage of 3 years, I've always felt that my MIL does not really like me because of subtle things that she has said/done since I've known her, but I've always tried to be polite to her and do the right thing. 2 christmases ago she sent our (my husband, me and our one year old) our 'gifts' (of the six or so knick knacks, half were USED and one was a book on how to live on less money than you think - the actual title!) in a box, all UNWRAPPED that arrived at our house on Dec. 4th. Told my husband she was 'too busy' to wrap anything. Wrote a thank you note (not snide) despite this. Last year, the ONLY gift to my husband and me was a calendar that she received as one of the 'freebies' you get when you subscribe to a newsletter, and it was wrapped in the 'freebie' xmas paper they provided (had their logo on it), with no tag, just written on the paper 'For John and Elizabeth'. What gives?! How to handle?
