Seriously, this forum has entertained me again for a 7 weeks today hospital stay. I like catching up on Karaboo and others.

Whyyyyyyy is she calling you about this when you already said you won't be contributing any money I think the better question is why has she not been told to stop calling? If she's not going to take the hint, she needs to be told in no uncertain terms that she will not get a contribution and to not call again asking for money. The even better question is why haven't you blocked her number yet?

lol...well after our first 'no' she called DSIL with orders for him to set us straight on what is expected of us ....i am beginning to see a pattern in how she does things. she pulled a similar stunt during wedding planning. at that point in time she felt that she was not receiving the proper level of deference . my answer then was surprisingly close to what it was this time also . strangely she never calls from the same number so blocking her is a challenge...

At the risk of really Poking her bee hive, the next time she calls I would bring up the issue of the missing cards/gifts that she most likely pocketed by stating that she obviously already helped herself to all she was going to get from any if you, DD and DSIL definitely included... but then I am evil that way.

Yeah, I'd bring up the missing money, but more along the lines of, where's the help that DD and SIL from your family? They didn't even get so much as a card from the lot of them.... *crickets*

I'm worried that family thinks she's a pig for not thanking them for their gifts.

I'm worried that family thinks she's a pig for not thanking them for their gifts. More likely they suspect the true cause. DSIL or Lisa's DD should volunteer to "help" with his sister's wedding by being the banker. Always have at least 2 people open cards or gifts and keep a detailed record of what was received and who it was from. My MIL has a variety of responses to this type of manipulation which pretty much amount to "Not my Problem", "Don't Put me in the middle" and "I have no money". You might also want to practice "I don't babysit for free". Even so, her youngest pretty much has her doing that.
