We have a birthday party tomorrow for my husband's "cousins" daughter and I'm going empty handed (aside from a card). I know giving is not about receiving, but I'm tired of going out of my way for these people and they can't even be bothered to pick up the phone when we call or attend anything for our daughter.
@reevespartyof4 I said to my husband, I will always get our nieces gifts for holidays and birthdays because they're our nieces. But this party isn't even technically family. We're Puerto Rican so we tend to have "cousins" that aren't blood. That's who this is for a "cousins" daughter. I've only met her a handful of times myself because it seems if the event isn't for them they don't show up. I wouldn't know what to get her anyway and I just don't see a point.
I’m starting for feel this way about my husbands Mom side of the family. We show up to almost everything we get an invite too and they can’t bother to show up for anything. The last 2 years they haven’t shown up for a birthday party or anything along that line. It’s just irritating so I totally get it!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
@emily526, yeah i completely get it! We always get our nephew birthday gifts or Christmas gifts. My kids unfortunate don’t really know him or his parents, they never have time for us. They are always spending time with my sister in laws family. It defiantly makes life hard when you have family blood or not that’s doesn’t like to be involved
