So, my new FIL didn't bring anything to the wedding. He asked H what we wanted (at the reception), and H told him we were registered at BB&B. About a week later, he emails H and says he doesn't like anything on our registry, so what do we want?
The only thing we need that's not our registry is money. There's a lot of work that needs to be done on our house before we can try and sell it, and we're really trying to minimize having stuff we don't need. Everything on our registry was replacement/upgrade type stuff.
We've been ignoring him, but he emailed H again today about what we want. Obviously, I know we can't say "CASH, GODDAMNIT!" Would it be awful to say "well, we need to replace the carpet in the house and fix this and that, blah blah blah", implying that the gift of cash would probably help us the most at this point if he doesn't want to buy off the registry?

And I thought *I* was bad at gift giving - but at least I'm fine with giving an envelope of cash or buying off the registry. Wedding gifts are probably the easiest type of gift out there.

Clearly, he can't take a hint or he wants H to ask him.
