FI and his mother are driving me CRAZY!!!! vent

FI called on his way home from work saying he had to pick up money from his mother as his Christmas gift, I said ok. He then tells me we have to go out either tonite or tommorrow to buy his gifts. I asked why the rush and he stated he has to then drop the gifts back off to his mother's so she could wrap them and then give him the gifts on Christmas!!!!!!!!! They are driving me up the bleeping wall with this I wish she would cut the apron strings already.

  • Yup these are the exact things I said it's beyond ridiculous who does that and to top it off it really makes sense to them. I still don't have an answer as to why she " has to" wrap them. FI thinks it's normal.......not when we live in another town

  • I have no idea FI says she wants to exchange gifts at Christmas dinner so I figure she just wants to hand him something but c'mon. We went to her house tonite to pick up the money and are going to get the gifts tomorrow, then back to her house so she can wrap them lol. I think I'm going to be drinking lots of spiked egg nog this Christmas. FMIL already cried when she gave him his ornaments from the past 27 years to put on our tree but that's another story in it's self.
