To think that my well off Auntie could have bought me a house warmer as well

[crazedupmom]

My niece has recently moved into her first house and my much well off auntie bought her some vouchers to spend as she wishes.
I moved house a alittle while before my niece I recieved some gifts off some of my family which was very nice.
Nothing off my auntie I was out with my auntie and other members of my family when my auntie bought the vouchers for my niece.
I feel quite hacked off about it tbh.
My mom my aunties sister said its because my auntie was invited for tea to my nieces house whereas my auntie has just been along for a look at my house and a cup of tea and cake.
My mom agrees though that its not really fair.

Was it your first house?

She probably doesn't like you.

You sound very grasping.

She doesn't like you because you're grabby.

Oh fgs, really?

No my second house

Ha. Is this another joke? Yabu.

How much were the vouchers for?

disown her! how dare she not buy you stuff.

Poor spoilt princess!!

Oh dear I have seen this happen before on mumsnett you all follow on with the onslaught never mind.

Sorry, I struggle to understand your post. Assuming I have got the gist and then YABU to expect gifts from anyone when you move house, you're an adult. Decorate your bridge yourself.

Ahem! Excuse me, I did not follow on with the onslaught - I asked a noseyquestion!

I only buy gifts/cards when people
move into their first home.

I would probably only buy for the first housewarming. I might send a card for house moves.

Did you get anything from rich Auntie when you got your first place?

no I didn,t get anything the first time either

Decorate your bridge yourself. brilliant Zimm!

1st house maybe (but not to be expected) so is she meant to furnish every house you move into then?

Sounds like she prefers your niece then.

furnish no but small token would be nice.

I think yabu. Is your neice younger? Is it her first home? Perhaps Aunty feels you are more sorted. I don't know but why get upset about it? I don't think anyone bought us anything when we moved into our house, it didn't cross my mind to consider it tbh.

Fuck a duck a doo. Poor you.

Your auntie might have valid reasons for not giving you a gift, in her own mind at least - i.e. if you and your niece have different personal circumstances - is she less well off?
I wouldn't worry, your auntie probably hasn't even realised that she has done something that causes offence. If you get on well with her, continue to do so and remain on friendly terms. I don't think you are grasping, just hurt at her actions.

Is your Auntie closer to your niece?

There must be some difference in the relationship she has with her to the one she has with you.

Can you explain the family a bit more?

my niece is 8 years younger than myself.

I have never liked this sort of thing tbh I just think everyone should be treated equally.
My niece is much better of than I am despite me being older.

I don't actually think treat my sons equally. I focus on what each one needs the most and try to be fair. Perhaps your Aunt saw a way to really help your niece and wanted to do it. I doubt it was done to spite you.

none of us see much of my auntie she lives about an hours drive away and does her own thing.
