In families, relationships can get tricky, especially when it comes to in-laws. Sometimes, even small things like giving gifts can show what's really going on. Recently, a mom went on Reddit to share how upset she felt after her mother-in-law seemed to purposely leave her and her child out of the birthday gifting.
In her post, the mom shared that she had always worked hard to make family events and parties special, not expecting anything in return. But when she noticed that the same effort wasn't coming back to her, she started feeling disappointed. It got even more complicated when her own child was also treated so badly. She realized that the efforts she put in were kind of pushed to the side, just like how she sometimes felt left out herself.
