all of you measuring love by quantities, thickness, price, and weight of gifts need to really get your priorities straight. you're parents! whining (in ramadan) about such materialistic things is digusting, and this is just the kind of behavior that gives desi women a bad name.
sure, people will give the baby something, but the most important thing a grandparent can give is love, support, and guidance for you and yours. get over your petty issues and realize what is important before it is too late.
Re: did your in laws get you anything for the delivery of ur 1st baby?
you are taking our words in wrong sense sahar since the thread is asking about **did your in laws get you anything for the delivery of ur 1st baby? **so just answering that nothing else.......... ofcourse if they didnt gave us anything our life would neither stop nor will v stop respecting them............. n of course everyone wants love support n guidance............ no one is hungry for gifts or other stuffs its just me answering what the thread is asking............... plz dont take the topic in other sense................
Re: did your in laws get you anything for the delivery of ur 1st baby?
I didn't mean to sound so harsh, and I wasn't directing it to you specifically, but a lot of people are not just listing but complaining about silly things, and it's important to keep it all in perspective, and focus on the new blessing you have.
Re: did your in laws get you anything for the delivery of ur 1st baby?
n i also didnt want to sound harsh to u as well.............. i was just clearing u that things n gifts r not important its just as asked about things so i just told till now nothing................. no hard feelings plzzz
Re: did your in laws get you anything for the delivery of ur 1st baby?
The thread did ask what your inlwas got for you or the baby....but some replies were along the lines of showing dissatisfaction about the actual gift or the timing when the gift was given etc etc.....no offense to anyone...
While I do understand that having a baby is a big deal and we all want it to be celebrated by everyone...if someone is not giving a gift or giving a cheap gift,that is just them and reflects their cheapness and personality...
IMO no matter how it is between the parents and the inlaws,it is a blessing to have both sets of grandparents and get their love and blessings...
I personally know of someone who when called to tell her MIL about their expected baby,she was told...'we don't care'....and after having the baby never even got a congratulations or a single prayer for the newborn....
Its the grandparents' loss and not the baby's or it's parents...they will never get to know and enjoy and cherish an adorable baby..!!!!!!!!
Re: did your in laws get you anything for the delivery of ur 1st baby?
ha, well i saw the ring today and my god, its tiny, its hardly worth anything, it wasbetter she didnt send it and just sent a suit, some things just dont look good, even if gold, it looked cheap, i would never wear it, and even husband was silent when looking at it, i said it wont fit me now anyway plus its too thin the band bit, itl break...he just hmmmmmed in agreement, not sure if he said anything to his mum later but then in the next convo with my MIL she said oh yeh SIL nai bhaija hai...bascially now they saying my sister in law sent it and bought it, hence meaning thats why its cheap probably cos she is younger than me and just began working last year....i dont belive a word of it, also the same SIL sent £500, NOT SURE whose it for, obv for her bro and me, im assuming though the moneys for him and tacky cheap 20quid ring for me.......not getting the picture at all.
on a slightly positive note, they did send a latest kaftan style dress, whihc they keep insisting i wear, its nice, but it doesnt fit, im nearly 9 months preg for gods sake, told them it doesnt fit, but they keep saying waise hi pehnlo...okkkkkk...im asusming again they sent it because their pyaari daughter wants some cosmetics from here and can only ask me cos her bro aint got a clue about cosmetics....hai.
yes i channel my anger through more anger. :)
Nadz your attitude is very disappointing. Allah does not like na-shukrapan - you should express gratitude for what you've been blessed with and appreciation for any small token that has been given as a gift as opposed to experiencing a sense of entitlement for either more things and or more valuable things.

Ditto!

and i thought today's generation was supposed to be better than the last
people need to get out of this materialistic mindset and think about greater and bigger things.

Exactly. No one is entitled to give you anything, if they do then it's a bonus and you should always be grateful for what you are gifted. End of.
Some replies here are so childish and immature it's unbelievable.
Re: did your in laws get you anything for the delivery of ur 1st baby?
agreed! haha its best not to have expectations of anyone in your life, especially inlaws! that path only leads to disappointment, bitterness and more disappointment. i already know that when i’m pregnant iA, my parents and brothers will most likely outfit the entire nursery, the baby, and buy us the stroller and car seat iA. if my parents have the means, they will gladly split their last penny with us. his parents on the other hand will probably bring flowers and a card. and that’s ok- their family has different priorities and ideas about generosity and they were raised in a completely different environment so they approach gift-giving differently. but you know, c’est la vie. its all good! 
Re: did your in laws get you anything for the delivery of ur 1st baby?
Wow .. this thread is funny!... Here we have a bunch complaining about not getting anything nice from their inlaws .. I bet if I created an inlaw thread about what did u give them, the same bunch will jump up and down finding every islamic source online to prove they are not obligated to give/help their inlaws .. no no of course not .. you are only obligated to expect nice gifts from your inlaws .. tada! .. Geez people, get out of your mouseholes!
