D-BIL is CF of the year

[Babybubblescomingsoon]

DH and I bought D-PIL a Christmas present. We're spending Christmas with my family in England and will fly out to spend new year with his family on the 28th.

D-BIL has just texted DH and he conversation went as follows

BIL: What have you got mum and dad?
DH: just a few little bits, wasn't sure what to get them.
BIL: Well tell me, I need to know what I'm paying for.

BIL assumed he could freeload onto our present for PIL !! He's spending Christmas with PIL and has told them that their present from him will be arriving along with us, as we've gone 50/50 on it. This wasn't mentioned to us before tonight. AIBU to tell him to fuck off and drown him in a barrel of prosecco?

Thanks for bearing with me, I needed that vent.

Is he even offering to pay half or just thought you'd lie for him?

Regardless, he's a dick.

I suspect your DH has previously agreed with his db that he can go in with your pressies...but your DH forgot to tell you?

Piss Off.. is the reply your looking for

tell him he gets 50% of the required info when he forks over 50% of the cash and not one second before.

DH received the text and his jaw dropped to the ground. He definitely didn't offer, he's fed up of everyone pandering to BIL so definitely wouldn't have offered. Wasn't offering to pay half, just wanted to add his name to the gift tag.

Defo get your DH to tell him to fuck off to the far side of fuck and then some more. That’s pathetic! He’s in situ with them. One presumes there are shops/the Internet over there? Cheeky fucker award of Christmas Eve goes to your bil!

We don't want to go 50/50 with him because
A) he is fully capable of buying his own.
B) owes DH money anyway
C) he's the baby of the family and gets away with everything.

Just decline.

No we didn’t agree to that. If you’d wanted to go halves you should have asked me.

And change??

Name *

Name change fail OP?

But agree, major CF.

Agree with just saying in a text that you hadn't agreed to go halves so have not purchased on his behalf and won't be adding his name to the tag. Don't pussy foot around or umm and errr about it. Don't answer any further texts after that in relation to presents.

Oops sorry. I took part in the mumsnet Christmas name change and ^ that was the result. Will change back now.

So what are you going to do?

Tell him to put the cash in an envelope with the Xmas card as you’re not including him.

It’s quite simple...

“BIL - why would we agree that when you’ve owed us money for x-amount of time anyways? Get on the net, but then an experience and print it up”

Simples

Text back and tell him nice try. Sorry, but no. You'll have to give him things you've picked out and paid for yourself.

DH just replied
"Hilarious, hope you manage to find something good to give them."

Brilliant, well done OPs DH.

Well done him!

Your DH is chief CF Slayer! Well done him!

What a CF

Cf means cheeky fucker.

good for your DH..CF only change when called on it.

Good work by DH.
It would have been a criminal waste to taint a barrel of prosecco with BIL.
