Hi all
I have three sisters who are all coupled off now and in fairly serious relationships, so with Christmas coming up, I decided I was just going to get them all vouchers as couple for Christmas.
They all enjoy the cinema, so I went and bought vouchers - enough for tickets, some snacks etc rather than buying individual "tatty" gifts like gift sets etc they don't really need.
I went and got the vouchers last month because I have some hefty bills this month and next and want to concentrate on my own child during those months and getting food shop etc in.
One of my sisters found out from my mum what I got them, and has requested if I can instead give her cash as she wants to get a tattoo.
I explained to her, I wasnt doing individual gifts this year and was getting each couple a gift they could use together.
Well, to say she give off is an understatement.
Apparently she will be far too busy in the 18 months the vouchers are valid for, and if she received it, she would just sell it on for the cash.
She wants me to split the cash I would have spent between her and her partner. The vouchers have already been purchased and I don't have the budget to start buying other things.
I simply asked her why she thought she wouldnt have two hours spare in the next year or so, and she told me to "f### off".
AIBU to just keep the vouchers now for myself and my partner to enjoy and just think bugger off to my sister and her partner this Christmas?
I have no idea how as a society we have got to a position where we are dictating to others what to buy us, acting ungrateful etc.
