Aibu to think Asda vouchers for kids is a bit crap?

[CrapBag]

Sil usually gets DCs Elc vouchers, I mentioned to DH that DS was getting a bit old for ELC now and when we went in we couldn't find anything for him to get and its over priced. Dh thanked Sil but just mentioned about DS getting a bit old and us not being able to find anything.

So what did she get them? Asda vouchers! I know, I know I sound really ungrateful but who gets Asda vouchers for children! Its not like we even have a good As a with loads of toys in, ours is tiny with half an isle full and most of that is baby stuff. I just think it is really thoughtless. She lives by there so she clearly just went in and got it with her weekly shop.

Aibu to think that it is thoughtless?

So are you going to tell your DH to tell her that the vouchers are still wrong?

I would think that is an excellent idea for a present, a billion times better than the endless sets of Lego my DS has been given .

Yes I come across as an unpleasant person because one post about one insignificant thing in my life . Yep this whole post sums up me in a nutshell.

vino no she doesn't give a damn about them. I honestly think she buys because she feels she should, not because she wants to do something nice for her niece and nephew. When asked if she wanted to hold baby dd, she looked up from her magazine, glanced over and said "nah" and went back to her magazine, that was the most attention she paid her! She didn't even speak to them the last time she saw them, she got up to make a massive fuss over a cat though.

So its no use people who don't know her saying she cares etc when I know she doesn't.

Sorry for the rant, its just that is one thing that bugs me on forums. You post something and some people make massive assumptions that you know are not true.

Some people just aren't interested in kids, that's ok. She still buys them gifts out of obligation and is trying to get the right thing from your instructions. I don't think she's done anything particularly wrong. Just accept her gifts graciously.

Does she have children? It can be difficult to know what they would like if you don't.

YABVU.

YABVU, totally ungrateful and the world does not revolve around your children. Not for her.
Sorry.

You know what OP? You're right - I'm in a bag humbug mood and made a massively sweeping judgement based on one snapshot of your life and I apologise for being rude. You're probably a hugely pleasant and all round lovely person and I've just been a narky cow - sorry!

Still think asda vouchers are an ace present though

Bah humbug. Not bag
