I invited my cousin and her 2 children over for Christmas as they had no one else to spend it with, and it would be nice for us all to spend it together. Firstly she was disappointed when she asked if she could sleep over Christmas eve so she didn't have to pay double fair taxi on Christmas day, but i said no as we had no space and i wanted the morning just me my partner and kids anyway. She got annoyed but i thought if you dont want to come thats fine. Then she said she will still come what can she bring, i said bring a couple bottles of wine and a couple bottles of shloar for the kiddies. Christmas eve she messages me saying she'll be round at 8 in the morning
i said its too early can you make it 11/12. She came without any wine or drinks for kids. She bought us presents ( 1 poundland toy for each of my children and a gift voicher for h&m for me) she is not short of money so this is not the reason for lack of bringing something to contribute to xmas day). They all had, salmon and poached eggs, a full xmas dinner, 3 puddings and snacks plus she had wine, baileys, champagne, gin. Plus i spent £10 on each of there presents. Ive just gone to spend my voucher and there was £5 on there! So in total she has spent £7 on us and had all the works xmas day. Im so angry, and the £5 voucher was what tipped me over the edge as when she gave it me she said to treat me and the girls. How can i treat 3 of us with £5?! Would you say something or just leave it and never invite them again? Sorry for long post. Just needed a rant.
