AIBU - DS made me cry

28 replies

AlwaysDancing1234 · 18/12/2014 19:44

DS has just presented his baby sister with a handmade Christmas card.

He made it at school so it's a little crumpled. He has drawn a Christmas scene on the front and obviously spent a lot of time on it.

I then read out the words inside, in his bestest writing it says "Dear A, Merry Christmas and I will love you much more than anything. From your big bro Xxx"

I held it together til he went to bed and now I'm sitting here crying "happy tears" and snuffling like an idiot. Tell me to pull myself together!

I think I have something in my eye...sniff...

Definitely not unreasonable, had a little sniffle myself! How sweet!

CaptainAnkles · 18/12/2014 19:51

Adorable. Sniff.

That's so lovely Flowers

My big bro is my hero. He's completely mad Xmas Grin He has Aspergers and is VERY quirky! But he's brilliant as he is. I wouldn't change him at all, ever.

Weeping, weeping, weeping, how old is he?

Pancakeflipper · 18/12/2014 19:52

I definitely have something in my eye, as does DH who's just seen the card!
DS is 7, he waited a long time to be a big brother and his (and our) wish came true this year Smile

Oh that's just so cute, exactly what Christmas is about Smile

dietcokeandwine · 18/12/2014 19:57

Oh that's gorgeous OP. You have to keep that forever and ever and ever.

I would be sniffling too.

Tartanscarf that's lovely, I hope our DD feels like that about her big bro in years to come

Aw how amazing x

Andrewofgg · 18/12/2014 19:59

Seven years is a good gap; my DSis is seven years older than I am. We squabbled a bit (so will yours, OP, a bit later!) but we have got closer as we get older and the age-difference dwindles.

mytartanscarf · 18/12/2014 19:59

He sounds as awesome as my brother so I am sure she will :)

Finola1step · 18/12/2014 20:00

Aww. That needs to go in the special box (or wherever you keep the most treasured bits and pieces). What a lovely boy.

My screen seems to have developed a fault, it's gone all wobbly HmmBlush

What a lovely boy you have!

AlexD72 · 18/12/2014 20:49

That is really wonderful. Can I suggest you keep that card in a very safe place as I'm sure it will come in handy on very special days when they are older! Like a wedding day! Printed on a canvas as a present. I'm getting soppy in my old age

WellnowImFucked · 18/12/2014 20:54

Why am I always chopping onions when I read threads like this??Wink

So cute.
