AIBU?

To be annoyed?

That my BIL asked how much the present was that we gave his daughter?

He did the same to SIL and followed this up with 'just want to see how much she's worth to you'?

He's a tit.

Did you tell him the cost or to mind his own business?

He's an ignorant, rude pig. How old is the child?

YANBU, unless he was joking? Either way, still a bit of a dick.

I hate that. I'm sure my MIL googles her presents.

YANBU

Did you ask if he meant to be so rude? Either the answer would have been 'no' and you would feel satisfied with yourself for the reply, or he would have said 'yes' and you could have had a cathartic ding-dong row!

YANBU, your brother is rude. Next time he asks, tell him that you didn't spend anything as you're re gifting her present.

I said 'Does it matter?'...he dodged the question.

The child at the time was 2. He chases up birthday presents if they are late too.

He's always on about how much things cost and how broke he is. Then he disappears on a 5 star holiday.

Does my head in, never asks us how we are or what we are up to.

Tell him either that it cost nothing or much, much more than it actually cost.

SO rude. I'd have to let him know that if he asks again it'll be the last time she gets a present. Shame for her to miss out but he needs to know that it's inappropriate to ask.

I know indeed!!

i have always made an effort re his kids presents and we do small gifts for adults too. Ours from them are normally so thoughtlessly chosen and i know for a fact his wife gave me her old gloves one year.

His kids are the only in the family until in September, all being well, I have my first.
