Well there's nothing fun in that bag......

[Nicpem1982]

Gave dn her gifts today at ils and when she'd unwrapped them bil announced there was nothing fun in that bag and they can be left at mils

Wed bought 2 gifts that were requested (one quite expensive) and then some educational games books etc

At bils announcement dn shrugged and walked off with out even a thanks mil chastised bil but he shrugged

Aibu to be livid and want to sack presents off completely next year

Very rude indeed...

Rude cunts.

Crunchy - quite. Dn is young so I don't blame her

'leave' at MILs?! Bloody rude!! I would retrieve,rewrap and deposit somewhere else!

Well it's obvious where that little madam learned her manners.
Take them back and donate them to a school or something. That is extremely rude and ungrateful!

They requested 2 presents so I was a little taken aback we left before them so I'm not sure of presents are still at mils

Agree with sarahjconnor, pack them up and donate them to somewhere they will be appreciated.

That's truly shocking behaviour from Bil. I could understand it from an under four I suppose but a grown man? Depressing to think this dickhead is raising a child.

How did you not react there and then though? There's just no way I could have stayed silent in that situation I mean you're being insulted to your face! For your own self respect you need to knock gift giving on the head from now on. Frankly I'd either phone or message him tomorrow to tell him you found his comment rude and hurtful and that you'll no longer be buying for his family.

If they're at mils will donate to local care provision via la. I'm livid we spent ages choosing and wrapping etc that's without taking into account the cost

Can't - before I'd got a word out mil had and I don't want Xmas descending into chaos with my dd and dn there

That's really awful. Is BIL usually like that? What is he teaching his child about gratitude? I am very sorry that happen to you.

That’s shockingly ungrateful.
Next Christmas just get them all a box and put a piece of shit in it.

That should do the trick.
Fuckers

Instead of no presents, I'd go the other way and get some really fun stuff next year, can I recommend a kazoo, moonsand and more highly coloured sweets from Alibaba than you can shake a stick at?

Amy - bil has his moments but he's never been so openly arse hole like.

Gift giving has always been an issue for him which I accept and in previous years there have been ridiculous requests for present requests for dn which we have largely ignored, but never this level of rudeness.

Wow, unbelievably rude. Is he your sister’s DH or your DH’s db? Disgusting behaviour.

My dhs brother.

Rest - dh recommended a trumpet (no music lessons) and a shit tonne of glitter

Trumpet and glitter, well played.

I think whoever is on that side of the family needs to have a word in a week or so.

Essential - it's dhs brother and he will sort it I'm just ranting because it's bloody rude

I was going to suggest a drum - but a trumpet is good, too.

Trumpet and glitter . I like his thinking.

Or a trumpet filled with glitter so when you blow the trumpet glitter flies everywhere.
Ignorant buggers!
