What do you do regarding buying a Christmas present for a lying little backstabbing pain in the ****, who is 24 acting like a child, and who lies to his mother about my husband and therefore making my mother-in-law shout abuse and emotionally blackmail my husband?
My husband syays I should not stoop to his and his girlfriends level as I am better than them, but after all the agro he caused this weekend, I dont want to get him anything (I wasnt going to get anything for her as she is a little money grabbing *****).

When he starts bragging and lying. Look him straight in the eye and say boy I am glad I am not you . I would not want to stand before God to account for what you just said and then turn around and sit down. If he continues, just say again God knows the truth and you will be held accountable for your actions. Then have a wonderful conversation with your husband and ignore the guy. I had to do that for 38 years. He just does not speak to me any more and than is the most wonderful peace in the world.

Kind of in a similar situation. The joint decision is not to get them anything.
I've told the rest of my husband's family that I'm not interested in hearing anything about them, I even interrupt when they do say anything......politely though.
Ignore them when they are around and walk away. Your Mother-in-Law will soon get the message that they are lying and you have the higher ground. Just don't expect an apology etc once she does realise.

feels like my brother inlaw, my husband, his sister and that i've got agreed whilst my brother in regulation gets married that we are giving him an empty card we are no longer giving him a cutting-edge through way he has dealt with us all and our toddlers, he does not appreciate absolutely everyone and the only reason we are able to the marriage is through my mom inlaw we don't choose to wreck her emotions in any different case we would all pass it. I say what is going around comes around. bypass to the marriage and have relaxing dancing,eating and eating and supply him an empty card no money no cutting-edge it particularly is payback!

i agree with some of the other answers, u shouldn't have to put up with these losers just because they are family. the only problem that your husband seems to be 'piggy in the middle' here, he's loyal to u because he loves u, but doesn't want to kick up too much fuss with his brother because he knows it'll upset the rest of his family, not just his brother. i feel the same way about my partner's brother, he is a selfish, arrogant, annoying little turd, but all i do is try to avoid him as much as possible, and i also keep conversation with him to a minimum, making sure that he knows that i'm not his number 1 fan...... try not to let it spoil xmas for u. he's simply not worth it.

Personally I wouldn't bother or if you have to just give them a bottle of wine (one that you and your husband have at the back of your cupboard that neither you like) and get her a box of chocolates. This will show that you thought about them for a second and then chose their gifts because you had to not because you wanted too

Let your husband buy the present- it's his brother and he should know exactly what to get him. Gifts should come from the heart, and obviously you are not the leader of your B-i-L's fan club, so..... if your husband wants to take the high road, let him shop for his brother.

Rise above it, like your husband says, and definitely don't buy him anything for Christmas!

Make a stand and say I haven't got you anything this year because I would feel two faced.
