Christmas is the time when we can finally meet at the table with family. We are usually busy, busy and always busy with something, this is the time when we can meet, talk and just be together. Usually. Because it also happens that the holidays give us chills, stress and anxiety – this happens when we have to spend a few days with people we don’t like at all and we generally avoid any meetings with them.

Most often, the most unwanted gifts come from… the mother-in-law
Most of us like gifts. Giving someone pleasure and giving them a gift, even a small one, also improves our mood. But unfortunately it also happens that people we don’t like don’t want to give us any pleasure, but only to tease us and make our dislike for them increase. Most often, in such a case, we are talking about mothers-in-law. Apparently they are the source of the least successful gifts. They cause sadness, crying and rage. Socks, towels, porcelain animals, figurines or cookbooks are, according to conversations with many women, the most popular gifts that are completely unnecessary. They cause a lot of pain and depression. The reader recalls that the worst moment in her life and at the same time the gift that caused the most regret and sadness in her was the one from her mother-in-law for the previous Christmas. The mother-in-law, knowing that the woman was struggling with excess weight due to health problems, decided to buy a scale for her daughter-in-law. Sabina is sure that her mother-in-law wanted to “stick a pin” in her during a meeting with the whole family.
I have never had a very good relationship with my mother-in-law, because for 20 years she has made no secret of the fact that she simply doesn’t like me. Last year, however, she outdid herself. Knowing that I was struggling with excess weight due to my health problems, my beloved “mom” gave me a scale as a Christmas gift. She wanted to show what she thought about my appearance.
The woman felt that her mother-in-law would give her something that would make her sad, but she did not expect that it would be so cruel.
Sabina recalls that when she opened the gift, she felt anxiety rising inside her. She was sure that it would be something that would upset her greatly, but she had no idea that her mother-in-law would humiliate her so much. Even though she wanted to tell her how she felt out loud in the family forum, she refrained. She thought it would be best to show that she wasn’t bothered at all, so she smiled and didn’t say anything. She didn’t want to give her mother-in-law the satisfaction of what she did. She realized that what hurt her the most was the reaction of her husband, who did not see the slightest problem in the whole situation. psychologist Dorota Minta explained in an interview with WP Woman what is best to do in such a situation:
If we think that a gift given to us had a special purpose to make us sad or upset, we should later tell that particular person that we no longer want any gifts from him. If it is not important or close to us, it is better to distance ourselves and cool down the relationship.
