There is no doubt that there are lucky people who do not have a complicated relationship with their in-laws.
Most of us, however, can admit that there are some drawbacks when it comes to certain topics.
A woman left people divided after showing the Christmas card she received from her mother-in-law.
His video revealing the card and its content has been viewed over a million times on TikTok.
In the clip, he explained, “Toxic mother-in-law. It’s not the first time she’s done this.”
The card shows two birds perched on pinecones and says, “Greetings from the season.”
In the clip, the woman claimed that her mother-in-law had sent her a card detailing how much money she had spent to help them with their bills.
Viewers were divided over the video, as some people called the card “selfish.”
In the video, the woman shared a video of her opening the card and said, “This is a toxic mother-in-law.
“So I just want to start this video by saying that there is no way you absolutely need a Christmas present or need to give a Christmas present.
“But my mother-in-law chooses to repeatedly do this kind of behavior to my husband.
“Instead of just saying that you can’t afford a gift, or that you’ve given more than enough this past year.
“She will send a card and the card will say ‘Merry Christmas, I got a large blanket, $ 112.40 for a paid Xfinity bill, $ 584.89 for an electric bill, $ 697.29 and a gift. Merry Christmas.’
“So basically, she’ll say ‘Hi, I’ve been doing things for you all year long.
“And you know, she did those things when we lost our jobs due to Covid, so it was really amazing.
“But she chooses to send a card basically reminding us’ hey, you don’t get a gift because I did all these other things when she literally could just … I don’t know … not give us one or just wish us a merry Christmas.”
The video has accumulated 119,000 likes and almost 4,000 comments since it was uploaded.
One viewer was enraged: “That’s not a Christmas card, it’s a bill.”
Another added: “Don’t help someone if you’re going to hold it over them and remind them or use it whenever you can.
“Exactly why don’t I take money from my in-laws.”

A third agreed and commented: “No, this is absolutely insignificant.
“If she didn’t want to help them, don’t do it, but you don’t do things for people, then you can send the receipts instead of a gift.”
But others disagreed, with one person asking, “But why are you paying your bills in the first place?
“She might feel like all of you are toxic because she supports you and you are still waiting for a gift.”
Another criticized: “I wouldn’t expect a gift if my MIL paid my bills …”
A third commented, “Toxic seems a bit too much when it supported you through your difficult times.
“It may not be that great to put it on the card, but she might be trying to make sure.”
