Turns out they did.  My SIL bought a gift card, forwarded to my brother, not to his personal email, but to his military email.  He never saw it and they never got their gift.  He realizes his mistake after dad got onto him for hurting moms feelings.  He finds it and forwards it. Except the military does whatever security [BLEEP] and won’t allow him to open it. 

They resolve the issue.  But who the hell emails a gift card for a present???  Every damn gift this SIL [BLEEP] sends is either a joke or takes too much time and effort to hunt down.

I’ll explain the joke part at least.  Hopefully the pain in the [BLEEP] part has been explained.  I send gifts to them. Meaningful gifts or if nothing else gift cards usually visa ones they can use anywhere in a denomination that should suit anyones needs. 

Let’s back the train up on my past gifts from this [BLEEP].  Female dog that handles my brothers stuff To make it clear.  I got a [BLEEP] pillow!  A pillow that’s suited for a couch.  A tiny one. One one side is a super close up of my face and the back, my brothers face.  Thanks for the unwanted space in the trash bag, hope you two enjoyed the 250.00 gift card! 

This year; I get a Batman v whoever the [BLEEP] it is Rock em sock em robots game.  Way to go bro, you’re [BLEEP] [BLEEP] wife strikes
Again. She obviously doesn’t spin these ideas off you since you know I’m not into superheroes nor were we “rich” enough as kids to have that game.  I hope you enjoy your 250 gift card this year as well. 

Pisses me the [BLEEP] off.  If it weren’t for the spirit of Christmas I’d send them kingsford. His [BLEEP] wife takes it a a joke, but I can guarantee you that her family is getting pampered.

My brother and sister in law used to give us all gift wrapped photos of them every year for Christmas. They gave them to everyone on this side of the family, meanwhile telling us about all the great gifts they gave her family. I would spend time and money picking out the perfect gifts for them and I got tired of it. One year I took my son to see Santa and had his pic made. Reused one of the cheap dollar store frames they had given us and wrapped it up as their Christmas gift that year. You know, we never got another gift wrapped picture of them again. 

Stop spending time and effort on people not willing to do it for you.
