My DPs bought DH and me a penthouse for Christmas. However, it's only got 6 bedrooms and is in Kensington. I specifically said Mayfair and at least 8 bedrooms.
I don't know how they could do this Angry

They don't love you enough to find out what you really wanted. Those "nearly" gifts are the worst of all, it's sheer laziness.

Yawn

KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes · 26/12/2015 16:50

Yes, Kensington is wank.

Want to swap it for my glittery carrot?

Wendied · 26/12/2015 16:52

They're toxic. You obviously need to go NC.

KurriKurri · 26/12/2015 16:53

Would you consider swapping for a chalet bungalow in Norfolk that no fucker wants to buy from me ? Grin

AgentProvocateur · 26/12/2015 16:53

Call 101 and report it.

TheSquashyHatofMrGnosspelius · 26/12/2015 16:54

King I'll swap your carrot for my (in my view superior quality) parsnip if you like. I bought my DH a funnel of gigantic size and he bought me a present for the first time in 12 years, I nearly fell off the bed!

OP I should go NC with your heartless bastard parents, they don't deserve you!

BooOzMoo · 26/12/2015 16:54

Call social services!!!!

RudeElf · 26/12/2015 16:54

I have a wendy house i'm trying to offload needs a powerhose at it fancy swapping?

Lweji · 26/12/2015 16:56

You're awfully entitled. Surely 7 bedrooms would be enough.

MissHooliesCardigan · 26/12/2015 16:59

Thanks for your support. What makes it worse is that I made the effort to buy them both a lovely gift pack of toiletries from Superdrug Sad

Be kind OP, perhaps they are savings few pennies to buy you a holiday home in Cannes.

KwickNC · 26/12/2015 17:00

And they have the audacity to call themselves parents! Terrible humans cut all ties immediately

PopcornFrenzy · 26/12/2015 17:01

Wow, your parents are cunts

ElfOnTheBoozeShelf · 26/12/2015 17:03

Kensington? They obviously don't give a shit about you.

Andrewofgg · 26/12/2015 17:04

Please at least reassure us that all the bedrooms are at least en suite and that there is a flat for the butler's butler.

Shutthatdoor · 26/12/2015 17:05

Did they put no thought in at all!

Go NC straight away.

knobblyknee · 26/12/2015 17:08

OMFG this is emotionally abusive!!! No Bolly, have this Wine

CoteDAzur · 26/12/2015 17:09

They sound toxic and controlling.

amysmummy12345 · 26/12/2015 17:10

I hope you informed them that they are both the carcass?

LaurieFairyCake · 26/12/2015 17:11

Oh god I though you said Kennington !!!

I would have taken it off your hands. But Kensington no way, what a shite hole.

hiddenhome2 · 26/12/2015 17:11

Yuck, obviously a pair of narcissists.

Namechangeforthebadstuff · 26/12/2015 17:12

I can't comment on whether YABU or not until I know their monthly income. More or less than 2k?

DecaffCoffeeAndRollupsPlease · 26/12/2015 17:12

If you can't get over the upset, you'd be totally within reason to turn up at a&e and not move until someone fixes it for you.

MytwinisMilaKunis · 26/12/2015 17:13

How very dare they. Book a spa day immediately to recover.
