to think this is cheeky and refuse to pay?

[Evaisaiah]

It was dm's birthday recently and money is tight at the moment so i took her out for a lunch and bought her a book she wanted, all seemed fine. However dsis knew that dm had been after a new TV so dsis and another sister (there are 5 of us!) decided to buy her a new one.
Now me and other dsis have received texts saying 'Hi E, hope you are ok. Please could you leave the 50pound towards the TV at mums house, cheers'.

WTF, there has been no discussion or agreement at all beforehand that we were paying towards their present. AIBU that this is cheeky?

Well done Eva - you did exactly the right thing there. Kept the text nice and light and it couldn't come across as heavy handed at all.

Hope it all works out in the end.

Did your sister respond Eva?

Sorry, being nosy but it was a perfect text : )

We'll done. Great text! Any response x

Dont pay you have no reason to

She basically rang me and patronised me asking me questions like, are you struggling with money? Could you manage half? I can wait a few weeks, there's no rush. I just said I'm sorry but I don't want to and quickly finished the conversation.

Have you name changed? Glad it worked out for you.....

Yeah I have, just fancied a change it's not for privacy reasons.

But you're not sorry! Why should you be? She needs to get the point about asking first if she wants you to come in on a joint present.

Well done - 'I don't want to' is the best answer of all
