Would you feel excluded if your in-laws regularly sent your husband/wife care packages solely for them? Why or why not?

I wouldn't feel excluded. I have never got along with my in laws and that sort of thing is likely to be something they would do. Personally, being husband and wife I would check out the contents anyway and see what I could use. If there was nothing I could use at least we wouldn't have to buy those items for him so I could spend the money on me.

Since I know my in laws so well it would not surprise me or upset me. He'll share whatever he gets with me:)

Nah, it happens all the time. She bakes & I don't. My hsb (& his Mother) has a very big sweet tooth. I don't. I like salty stuff. She bakes something almost every day, so my hsb & I both benefit! I don't have to bake!

No, I would not feel excluded. I am in fact grateful my mother-in-law doesn't send me any of the crap she sends my husband.

Yeah, that sux. Whasupwithat yo?...

You mean a care package...like "Hey, we don't think you're wife is taking care of you properly so these are somethings we thought you probably needed?"

I cannot imagine ever feeling excluded by my mum in law. If what you describe were to happen, I think I would understand she loves her son and just wants to be closer to him and that would be her way of feeling that she was :)

No, in fact, I think I would find it refreshing. My mom-in-law is obsessed with making sure she isn't favoring someone, that it almost gets annoying. If she buys him 3 Christmas gifts, then she makes sure to buy me three. He is HER son, I understand she might want to get him something extra. Please do, spend the money on him and quit buying me things, I don't want or need. I realize she means well, but it is a bit ridiculous. We're not little children and we're not keeping count.
