This might not seem like a big deal to some but feeling this way after family leaves you out is definitely reasonable.

We're back again today with yet another awesome Reddit post from this thread that we love to look into. This thread is the perfect place to go when you're looking for the best advice from people that don't know you.

This thread is where people come to see if they are in the right or wrong for how they reacted during a situation. With this all being said, we are looking into a post today that was submitted by a woman who wants to know if she's in the wrong for feeling some type of way that her MIL purposely didn't buy her or her kid anything for their birthday.

The mom wants to really know if she's overreacting about this or if she's in the right for feeling this way. A lot of people had something to say about this, and many people can kind of relate when it comes to this situation because it shows that there are a lot of different things that need to be addressed when it comes to having a family and interacting with your in-laws.

So if you're interested in hearing more about this situation and seeing what people have to say about OP's reaction to this situation, then keep on reading as we dive into this post and show you all of the comments on it as well.

We're starting this off with an edit that OP posted after she read more of the comments.

This is the second edit that OP posted when people were confused as to why she put up with so much and put out so much effort for her MIL.

This is when she gets into the details of the original post and what happened with her situation and her birthday gifts.

She explains her personal life as well to give more info as to why she wants to love her in laws and that family because she doesn't have her own.

People quickly said that this situation sucked and that she deserved better while also giving her some options on what she can get for free for her birthday.

It's not her job to make them like her and if they don't like her then it's not her problem.

This is great advice because I definitely wouldn't spend money on her again after all of this.

This isn't something that I would be worried about and really I would just decide not to get her anything in the future.

MIL doesn't deserve to have OP in her life and everyone here pretty much agrees with her on that one.

This is definitely emotionally abusive and absolutely just not okay, which makes things so much worse.

We agree, she's not overreacting at all and we definitely know that she's in the right for how she feels.

This definitely is a terrible situation to be in, but we hope that OP just steps up and doesn't give them any more of her time or money. Obviously, they just don't deserve it, and we don't think that OP is overreacting because we'd feel the same way.

What do you think OP should do?
