Parents are bringing the wreath in daily?

I went to visit parents and they’ve been wringing their light up wreath in daily from the front of the house. It cost them £60 and they think someone might steal it from the most rural and quiet area ever. Aibu for telling them it’s stupid.

YABU because in the event, however unlikely or not, that it does get stolen then you'll feel pretty daft and owe them a £60 wreath.

Ach, sometimes it's kinder to agree with them than make them feel stupid. This is one of those times.

As long as they are not endangering themselves in anyway by doing it leave them to it. We can't have one as our door is straight into the street and the area where we live it wouldn't last 2 minutes. What's really annoying is they probably wouldn't even steal it to use or sell they would just trash it for the sake of it

Some have been stolen round here. If I had spent £60 on one, I would bring it in!

You’d tell them it’s stupid - really? How does it impact you?

crumblingschools · 05/12/2024 22:22

Why do you think it’s stupid?

Ggmores · 05/12/2024 22:21

Just let them get on with it!

It’s not harming anyone?

they do get stolen

£60 - fair dos! We got a new one this year and DH asked if I thought we should bring it in at night. It cost all of about £5 from Aldi 😅

Sensible. Mine got stolen a few years ago so I don't bother anymore.
