Good to hear ! Yeah I was just sitting on a 80 % complete review but just didn ' t have the time or motivation to complete it . <| sep |> Hey ! Thank you for your feedback , I ' ll use that instead . Happy Thanksgiving ! <| sep |> First , take a big breath in give yourself the credit you deserve . You have every damn right to be pissed . The blatant manipulation , pettiness , and inconsiderate bullshit she pulled is only outdone by the confusing trick she pulled on a toddler . Classy move , Cruella DeClueless ! I feel pretty strongly on this , likely stemming from the lifetime of manipulation and bribery I was put under . The way I see it , there are no such thing as restrictions on any gifts given to kids . If anyone buys my kids something they have no stipulation power . First , as the only mom they have I ' m the only one qualified to create rules for them . And second , the instant rules are applied it no longer is a gift . If you give my kids an item they enjoy but only if they submit to your demands , that would be a bribe , manipulation , abusive and next level crazier than shit . Before NC with my family I had to cut off people from gift giving privileges . They kept upping the ante to phones , gaming systems , tablets , you name it . that is until I got smart instead of returninggiving it back I started donating them to the local women ' schildren shelter . Howdya like them apples ya psychos ? ! MIL needs to be called out . She may not realize how unacceptably rude she was very small chance , but still . Then the boundary of no rules on gifts can be locked in place too . This sucks , but will only get worse if not addressed .
