My dad bought twins a couple of large plastic pirate ships with loads of little boats pirates and stuff..... boys loved them my mum showed them 5 minutes before we had to go to nursey... cue tears then more tears as she said they had to stay at her house???

My parents don't look after the boys very often only a handful of times in the last 3 years in an emergency my mum don't like me bringing them in for long as they are hard work... i drop a lot of meds shopping off for her and we use her driveway to park when were at nursery.

Aibu to think a.gift should go home.with the recipient ?? Dd2 has been going on and on and on about the fecking pirate boat all afternoon.... just called mum to seee if I could.pick it up and she said.no it is.to stay at their house.

Sorry for the text am typing on.a phone ;-(

It sounds like your parents want to give you a few days off and babysit for you. Assuming you are up for that, then I would just ask her when they can next look after your twins so that the twins can play with the pirate ships. I'd lay it on thick about the twins loving their presents and really wanting to go and play with them.

adrien No....but a child of that age should have a lot of pleasure...especially from toys!
