Ok. I am quite certain that IABU. I even said to my husband that if I put this on AIBU, you would all say IABU. So then we decided to test it out...
I can barely type this as it's rather embarrassing.
My MIL has just phoned to say she has bought DCs a wooden train set. Very similar to the one we were planning to buy them next year when they'd actually be old enough to use it safely. Which we have talked about a lot and are really excited about buying and seeing how excited they would be.
She phoned to say "is that ok?". What can you say to that?? It kind of feels like she stole my thunder ... she has done it before by buying them a book that is quite sentimental to me, that I was looking forward to buying. (BTW had to hang up because of DC so couldn't answer her.)
Obviously will have to say, "how lovely, thank you." And accept it. I just want to see the happy looks on my babies' faces and know that it's because of something I got for them...
Entitled, ungrateful, precious... Moi?
