Birthday present for DSD- should it stay here?

[neverendingflorist]

For my DSD birthday me and my DP got her a TV. She stays with us every other weekend. As it is a TV we planned for it to stay here in our house in her bedroom. DSD seemed really happy with present and didn't ask to take it with her.

When she went home we got a really angry text from her mum saying we are selfish for getting her a TV and making her keep it at our house, that the TV was for our benefit more than DSD as she was only here every other weekend, that she couldn't believe we would do that to her and that she was going to come and collect it to take to her house so DSD could actually use her present.

So were we being unreasonable to do this? Should she take the TV? Really unsure whether we should let her. My gut says no but wanted to get other opinions.

^^ This!

It's up to DSD, it's her gift. Her Mum is being unreasonable though.

Don't think anyone's suggesting she should have to move the tv between houses. Just that maybe it would have been better for her to keep it at the home where she resides most often (if that's what she preferred).

There was some drip feeding and so now it seems the dsd is happy to keep it at her dads house. Fair enough. The point is it's her present.

It would have been unfair if she was being made to keep it at her dads. But she's not so all is fine.

I assume mum hasn't turned up and taken it away?
She'd be totally out of order to do so.
I think it was a lovely idea and should stay at yours personally

@HairycakeLinehan

Why?
Is it not the truth?
She will be using it ..
not step mum not dad not anyone else..

It’s hers in her room at her home with her dad..

Why does the mum have an issue?

Let her take it home ffs

@Hanab are you not reading the same thread I am?
All those questions have been answered multiple times 🤣

But you keep on huffing, puffing and fist banging that it’s YOUR gift YOUR rules. I’m just so relieved that I swim in different circles to you 😅

@morgan12. Let her take it home ffs

Ffs read the thread. It was the childs idea to have a tv, wall mounted, at her dads.

P.s her dads house is also her home.

Ok calm down 😂
