DP family have an agreement to give
Let’s say 2 camels each

So DP buys all family all the time even DB wife Always got 2 camels!

I’ve been with DP 12 months had one Christmas with DP
Never thoughtful it’s was a candle whereas I put thought into what we brought DP brother and wife!!

DP just won’t say anything but will reduce amounts if at my birthday is only 1 camel and will make it seem everyone skint so shall they all reduce to 1 camel! I moaned at my DSIS about not getting DP a present but DBIL was suspended!

I find this really upsetting and a insult to DP relationship with me!

AIBU and drama queen?

Or should DP grow some balls!

@Judashascomeintosomemone yep it was £15 and she got a £5 candle.
I really wouldn't let it consume you this much, OP. Just because they have a £15 limit doesn't mean they spend £15 on each person each year and you've only been together 12 months..

Nods and smiles...

Bluelady · 24/01/2019 13:50

Can you really buy a camel for £15? I think I might quite like one now I know they're so cheap.

Tighnabruaich · 24/01/2019 13:54

Was it the last straw, OP?

Housingcraze · 24/01/2019 13:59

I’m pretty sure you get a camel for a trade for anything these days!

DBIL was suspended

What does this bit mean?

Housingcraze · 24/01/2019 14:04

DBIL had a accident and was basically told he did this on purpose! So company suspended him!

Basically OP is upset because only getting 1 camel means no chance of baby camels happening. Correct? 🤔

GobAllMighty · 24/01/2019 14:27

OP** you have the hump because you have less cameltoe???? Grin

ChinnyReckonn · 24/01/2019 14:42

You've come across as a very odd person on this thread. Might explain why you don't get nice presents?

Redglitter · 24/01/2019 15:08

*We got DP DBro and wife a buy a gift couple experience so costing £40. So £20 each!

I got a candle and sweets? - £10*

If only youd said THAT in your OP instead of banging on about camels

MRex · 24/01/2019 15:18

What did the DBIL accident and work suspension have to do with your sister buying presents?

Camels are all very well, but they aren't great for getting out and about when you have other options. I thought camels would be comfy for some reason, it wasn't until I rode one that I realised the hump is rock hard and leaves your bits bruised.

Rachelle3211 · 24/01/2019 15:39

YABU and you should apologize to your sister for telling her off for not getting your dp of 12 months a birthday present. You both sound very spoiled.
