well couldn't do anything

Hmmm. That sounds not good at all. For my opinion, if your boyfriend really loves you, then he must do anything good, for his mother to be able to accept you if that was your perception/realization with his mom.Probably, you should talk to your boyfriend regarding this, considering this is Christmas, my friend! Merry Christmas to you! :)

I don't know if this is true but I assume your mother in law knows the difference between her children plus what they like or? But even if she doesn't like her son (your boyfriend) there is nothing you can do to it. There must be a reason why your bf wants or wanted to spend christmas with his family. Good news is: you can celebrate christmas tomorrow as well, or the day after that or next week or next month. Christmas is what YOU make out of it. If you let other people spoil it for you, that is your choice.

wow. that sounds like a nightmare. how long are u staying there? i hope not long. this is not a good way to spend any day, not to mention christmas. i sure hope that it gets better for you soon.

That sounds too bad. Sometimes holiday situations with your family can be like this sometimes. I got annoyed at several of my family members at last night's Christmas gathering, so I kind of understand where you are coming from. I don't really understand the part about his mom and the gift, but you could try being outgoing and making more conversation. Find things to talk about. It seems hard, but there's got to be something. I'm not always the best at making small talk but sometimes you have to grit your teeth and TRY. If it's a relatively new relationship, perhaps they are wary of you and don't trust you yet.

hello there, don't think about the gift that her mother gave you which is not as good as what she gave her brother, you still have the best part of it all, you have her daughter, and i believe if you love her, you would never ask for more, this Christmas sometimes we have to count our blessings, the things that we already have and not the things we don't have, and there you will see and you will realize, you were still lucky after all. so cheer up, you have the most beautiful girl in your life. enjoy her instead :)
