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.

Don’t let him get away with it. I like the other suggestions above

If the family culture is him being a CF I doubt there’s much you can really do OP.

Yeah except that’s exactly what the parents are hoping you’ll say. So hardly the brilliant text of the year. More like pandering to a spoilt brat and the people who raised him to be one.

Oooooo.

Hope you the wine has softened the blow

What happened in the end, OP?
