I went to drop off a birthday present to my ex mother in law....well as I was leaving my ex in laws adopted granddaughter walked in. It turns out my ex mother in law was making the girl dinner for her birthday which is in another two weeks. I didnt know the girl was going to be there I called ahead and the ex mother in law never mentioned this.
As I was leaving my ex mom in laws house the adopted granddaughter walked in the house and kept looking at the present I left my ex mom in law. I felt really guilty because I didnt have a present for the girl. The Girls mother used to date my ex brother in law but they broke up in 1999, but the girl never had a dad or family so all of us kept in touch with the girl even after her mom broke up with my ex bro in law. Then from 2001-2006 we didnt hear from the girl. But in 2006 the girl contacted us all to tell us her mother had aids and died. The girl also had a baby and was still a teenager, so we all came to her side and helped her emotionally and financially. But then about a year ago she quit calling or coming around, she moved and then I didnt hear from her. I wish my ex mother in law would have told me she was stopping by the house. I feel so bad about it. I suppose if my ex mother in law has a way to reach her I could get the address and send her a bithday card with money in it. But still I think my ex mother in law should have told me that the girl was coming over.

So sorry that this was so ackward for you but you did nothing wrong. I don't know why people don't think to tell us these things. Several years ago my sister-in-laws new husband (that has 6 kids from teen to adult) brought one of his older daughters to our family meal. We always bought for his youngest two kids as they were the only ones we'd ever met and were at the family gatherings. We all felt very ackward because there were gifts for her younger brother and sister from us all, but neither her father nor my sister-in-law thought to give us a warning that she'd be there.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
