My brother has 3 kids, and he and his wife have an estranged relationship with her family. So the kids (10-15 age range) do not get any presents apart from them and my brothers side of the family. Ie me and my/our mum.
We are not spending Christmas Day together, but are meeting up a few days after. I have presents for them all and planned on giving them when I see them.
Tonight I get a phone call, brother is asking me to post the presents as his kids don't hAve much to open (this is bs, his kids have a mountain if stuff- probably a round £500 ech value).
My gifts are small (£20 value ish) but thoughtful. I want to given them in person, see them open to talk about it. Exchange gifts in person, surely this is what Christmas is all about!?!
I feel like I am being pulled into a drama that is not of my making and something my npbrotegr should be dealing with, and his kids are old enough to understand that they will have to wait?
So would IBU to tell him no I won't post them?
