DS is turning 2 and got some birthday pressies tonight at the inlaws, one of which was a fire engine from ELC. He has this already (given by other SIL last year) so I told SIL this. DS had seen what it was obviously and tried to play with it / get it out the box. I said I would exchange it for something else but ended up feeling like a bad mummy cos everyone was saying 'but awwww look at his face he wants to play with it, can he not just have 2 of them, one for downstairs and one for upstairs?'. I gave in and went to take it out the box but DS then went to play with something else and forgot all about it. I still got a bit of a slagging though that I'm going to return it.
I think since he already has it HE DOESN'T NEED ANOTHER ONE or is that just me? And was it rude of me to tell SIL he already has it? The other SIL who got him the original one was sitting there and she said she didn't want to tell her sister that DS already had it, so that made me feel bad as if it was rude or something!

AIBU?
to tell my SIL that DS already has the present she got for his b/day, and therefore not to take it out the box so I can exchange it?
