It was my wifes 50th birthday in March. She always wanted to go to New York...but as we live in 'darkest' Africa it was going to be quite expensive.
As a present, my parents gave her the flights - 2 x 8 hour intercontinental flights. I paid for the hotel and everything else....she went for six days, and loved it.
Last Friday was my 50th. My parents gave me an IOU for a watch (very little choice here).
My wifes parents didn't even send me a card, an email, a phone call...nothing, nada, zilch. OK, they live in Europe...but still have email, phones, postal service etc.
Am I being childish in being pi$$ed off that my parents in law have completely ignored (or forgotten) their son in law of 20 years 50th birthday (her parents are 71 and 80 but still very much on the ball)....especially when my own parents remembered their daughter in laws 50th and gave her a present worth $1800.
I mentioned it in passing to my wife...."Oh...they are probably very busy at the moment".....Oh, right.
I know my place then.
Sorry guys....just feeling pi$$ed off, let down, annoyed etc etc
