To think my sister is being a cheeky fucker?

[Cheekyeffingsister]

We have a family whatsapp group and a few weeks ago we all put lists of present ideas for ourselves/our dcs and everyone said what they would get to avoid duplicates.

Dsis sent hers over, ‘does she think we’re all minted’ says dp whilst looking at her list. Nothing under £75 for her or her dp/DCs. We’re not well off by any means (her present is more than what I’ve spent on my own child) but she had called me and said ‘oh I couldn’t find what you wanted but saw some beautiful things you’ll love while in House of Fraser so got you and dp a £150 voucher towards them’ so based on that I felt I had to get her the pricey presents as couldn’t believe she’d spent so much! (Our presents we sent we’re all under £20)

Now 5 days before Christmas she has sent a message to the group whatsapp ‘Hi guys, just to let you all know we didn’t budget that well for Christmas and Sam asked for an Xbox last minuite so we won’t be doing presents for anyone this year. Hoped to get the kids something but don’t think we’ll have time now. See you Sunday x’

AIBU to think she’s a cheeky fucker? I know I’ll get called grabby and you don’t give to receive etc but to me it seems she’s sent us all pricey things, acting like she’s doing the same then waited until everyone will have bought things to say actually she’s not getting us anything!

I’m more pissed off that she said she’d get one of the things on DDs list and now i can’t find it to arrive before Xmas.

Disclaimer as not to dripfeed - she has form for this kind of thing.

Brilliant response OP.

I can’t believe the bare faced cheek of some people.

I'd love to know what your sister replies although I somehow doubt she will.

Good response.

Yes we definitely need to know what response you get! 😁

I suspect your sister will be most unhappy with this unexpected response. :)

Yay OP & OPs DH! Well done for not enabling the cheek.

Wow, as with all cheeky fucker threads I am astounded at this one. I thought your response was great. please let her reply with cheeky fuckery so I can get over invested

Hopefully next year some more of your family might do the same thing.

I'm also waiting all agog to see what the inevitable response is.

Glad you responded in that way.

please let her reply with cheeky fuckery so I can get over invested

Yes please update further

Good op, she's a spoilt little madam! She did not say, we've gone over our budget, let's just leave the presents this year, more like we want our presents, but don't expect any for you. Your dh has her system, please don't pander to this psudo Queen.

I would just text back and say 'don't worry, we'll return your gifts and cover what you said you would give to the dc from it - that way you won't be letting them down, I know how much you'd hate that.'

Say it so that she has to thank you for doing it.

I've read the whole thread. Unbelievable from your sister. Brilliant response from your DH on this and 100% agree with him and how you've both handled it. Love the text message you've sent and please do come back if she responds to it.

I hope OP updates!

Wow what a cf. Well done op great response.

Well done OP great response

Awesome response

Well done OP, cannot believe the CF-ery of some people!

Brilliant response and one she won't be expecting. Prepare for her to whine to your DM though!

I dunno. I’d rather assume it was a cock-up than conspiracy. The impact of your dsis’s behaviour is bad, and it’s poor manners, but I would want to assume the best. Would be annoyed though.

Well done OP. You've made the right decision- also I can understand why your dh doesn't like her!

Well done OP for you!

Your dh sounds like he’s got his head screwed on. Well done for not enabling her.

Just at the expectation of £75 gifts!
