My sister and I used to be very close but owing to some challenges our relationship isn’t what it once was. I have two boys, one four and one newborn and she has a seven year old girl. Generally, gifts on special occasions for the kids are thoughtful and useful.
My sister left some presents at my parents for me and my mum passed these on. She had regifted the following;
- A stained three piece baby set with an item missing, so a two piece in reality.
- A baby bouquet where the ‘flowers’ are rolled up socks etc. All bar a few items which were once white had yellowed as it’s obviously been stored since she had her daughter. In fact, I remember her specifically saying how much she hated it when she was given it.
- A photo frame given to her by our cousin when her daughter was born. This was in perfect condition unlike the above.
All the gifts were thrown in a supermarket bag and smelt musty, as if they’d just been cleared out of the loft or storage and passed on to me instead of being properly sorted.
AIBU to be upset by being given this from my sister? Particularly the stained, missing and yellowed items?
