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.

Excellent work by your DH

Your dp is a star lol

Your DH sounds like he has his head screwed on the right way!

Has your BIL got form for things like this?

'Oh fab BIL, that makes the gift so much cheaper for us! It'll be £250 you owe us please'

You dh = ace!

Good work DP!

Glad he called him on it

Tell him to grow up,stop being so selfish and lazy.
Absolutely do not let him share your gifts and make it clear to pil( if he tries to say you cut him out after previously agreeing to sharing)that he was never part of the gift buying.
Perhaps that will teach him to be more thoughtful.
Good luck OP

Any reply from D BIL yet?

Certainly a CF

brilliant reply from you dh

Cheeky bastard!

Well done to your DH!

Plenty of time for your bil to get his arse down to the shops in the boxing day sales and buy his parents a gift.

BIL gone sheepishly quiet.

He's apparently already told PIL that we're sharing the presents because he's with them tomorrow so wants to explain their absence. unfortunately we're visiting the family holiday house in italy, in the middle of nowhere, no shops at all, so BIL is really gonna lie in the bed he made

Will you be speaking to them tomorrow? If so, do make sure to ask what present they got from him.

You could always make a beautiful calligraphy gift tag and then scrawl “and Bob” on it...

My siblings and I do that all the time. I actually think it’s fine as long as he organises as many presents as your DH does over time.

Tell him to get them an e-voucher for something nice. Cheeky bugger.

I like your husband.

Please stick to your guns OP and don't let him claim your gifts

There is probably still time for BIL to download and email a gift experience voucher!

Virgin experience days do e-vouchers instantly that you inbox.

Well done your DH!

FFS, that sort of thing really pisses me off - "Oh I'll just let you do all the work and then take half the glory, and probably not remember to even pay you for my half".

Bollocks to that! Your DH is a star.

What a dickhead. Glad dh wasn't a pushover!

@Babybubblescomingsoon - hope you had a lovely Christmas. Is there an update?
