Story 1<\/strong><\/h1>\n

My MIL handed me a beautifully wrapped gift, and when I opened it, I found a sweater that was several sizes too small. \u201cI thought this might motivate you to get in shape,\u201d she said with a sweet but cutting smile. The room went silent as I sat there, humiliated.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Then my husband took the sweater, held it up, and said, \u201cWow, Mom, you didn\u2019t have to get Max a present!\u201d Then he tossed it onto the couch where our golden retriever, Max, was lying. Everyone laughed nervously, and her smug expression disappeared.<\/p>\n

Story 2<\/strong><\/h1>\n

My boyfriend\u2019s grandma had a really unique diamond ring, and I complimented the setting. Later, we met up for lunch, and she gave me my Christmas present. I opened the box and was really confused because there were only little plastic rings. I thought it was something craft-related, she knows I crochet.<\/p>\n

No, turns out it was for sizing a ring. And a piece of paper under it showed me the ring that was being custom-made. She bought me my own diamond ring.\u00a0\u00a9 notyourcoloringbook \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

I got a mini jewelry box for traveling from my mother. She gets me cheap jewelry every Christmas (because she likes it), and the only jewelry I wear is my wedding ring and occasional necklace. And I never travel.\u00a0\u00a9 tkdbbelt \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Story 6<\/strong><\/h1>\n

When my wife and I first got married, her parents hated me. One year, they got me a woman\u2019s sweater. The next Christmas, I wore it over, and my MIL asked my wife why I was wearing a woman\u2019s sweater.\u00a0\u00a9 RichLyons*** \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Story 7<\/strong><\/h1>\n

My brother gave me a bright orange wallet. \u201cBecause you like orange so much,\u201d he said while flashing the wallet I gave him a few years ago. It\u2019s red. He\u2019s color-blind.\u00a0\u00a9 Whole-Arachnid-Army \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

My MIL got me an ugly purse with the clearance sticker still attached. The box it came in was dusty and damaged.\u00a0\u00a9 Bottle_Sweaty \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Story 11<\/strong><\/h1>\n

My mom asked what my 13-year-old daughter wanted for Christmas, and I said, \u201cShe likes to sew.\u201d How this led to our entire extended family buying her nothing but yarn, I do not know.\u00a0\u00a9 Downtown_Statement87 \/ Reddit<\/p>\n

Story 12<\/strong><\/h1>\n
