What a surprise - the inlaws stood us up again part 5

FIL dropped off a gift for YDS at DHs work yesterday. A month after his birthday. 

Hmm.

Did FIL say anything to your DH that indicates he's sorry or understands that sort of thing is unacceptable?

FWIW, I think you juuust may be retraining these stubborn, ill mannered old dogs a bit. Perhaps they're finally realizing that there's a new sheiff in town - one with standards who's willing to draw hard boundaries  and hold to them.

Yes, it's irritating, but count this as a small win.

Well I hope you're right. I'm kind of wondering if its an attempt to get an invite to our house since it's an SD weekend and they already got called out for only wanting to come those weekends.

FIL did get all teary on the phone when DH talked to him a couple weeks ago, and he did apologize but idk if he really admitted to any wrong doing or how genuine it was since I could only hear DH. MIL definitely has not apologized and sticks with "there's two sides to every story."

Your inlaws suck!  That was a coward mood and obviously they don't care about spending time with YDS or they would have delivered it to YDS. 

Oh well, win for you that you didn't have to see the idiot!

I thought the same thing. It almost felt passive aggressive to me - oh we couldn't give SD her gift in person so we won't for YDS either.

Haha yeah not seeing them is a plus.

YDS is but there is no way I would tell him that the gift was from FIL

He's only one. Which makes it even weirder that the inlaws don't care that they haven't seen him more than 5 min since Christmas, he's obviously changed alot since then. But they're just DYING to see SD9.
