AIBU to think she shouldn't of taken my old toys?

[unicornsandrainbows98]

So my mums sorting out her attic as she's moving house. 19 years worth of stuff.
So my aunt (her sister came round to help). When we was younger my aunt gave me and my sister all of my cousins old hand me down Disney toys which we loved and played with constantly for years. My cousins (her children) are around 5-6 years older than me and my sister so there was a little bit of an age gap but not huge.
Anyway enough drip feeding, I had asked my mum to put them toys aside because I now have a 20 month old son who loves Disney and would love the toys and appreciate them e.t.c. My aunt has taken ALL of the toys home with her saying they're were her kids' toys once. 1. My cousin is gay and married but I know for a fact they don't want children in the future or ever. 2.my other cousin does not want children either and 3. They're all like nearly 30 years old? They are just going to be sitting in an attic again waiting to be played with? Aibu to think realistically they should of gone to my son and we should of got to keep them as they was handed down to us in the first place? Sorry this post sounds so petty but I would of loved to see my little one play with the same toys I had so much fun with as a kid!

It's extremely rude to comment on a poster's grammar or spelling.

Yes it's disappointing but can't be helped, OP.
Unless you think your aunt might let you have a few of the toys if you ask nicely?
If you think she'll be awkward, don't bother.

Missing the point completely, but Disney is shit! Expensive, exploitative tat produced by a corrupt corporation to make sure parents feel inadequate if they don't purchase all the shitty overpriced stuff for their kids.
OP, you're well rid of it. Buy your kids better toys.

I think they belong more to your aunt if she bought them originally from America.

@WorraLiberty
Yeah that's true. I mean after people saying how as they're old they probably wouldn't be suitable for a toddler to play with then that's kind of made me think I shouldn't of had them in the first place

OP, you're great. Please don't feel embarrassed. It's just a gentle pointer for you! No we are not perfect. Hope you can sort it all out regarding the toys and your family.

Oh unicornsandrainbows98 you handled the teasing like a gem. Don't be embarrassed, I don't think it was malicious

This is exactly what eBay was invented for.

I don't know what else to say over a load of old plastic tat.

So you're happy to leave it to your aunt and sister to help your disabled mother but you're moaning about a few toys? Plenty of us have had small children and for on with things, just take your DC with you.

Tough call. I am inclined to say your stuff shouldn't be at your mum's but at yours - as shown here, you can't keep tabs on stuff not under your roof - but we all know how easy it is to drift.

(You rotten meanies, leave OP's spag alone, you understand perfectly what she's on about)

I almost didn't see it because I automatically corrected it.

To answer the post, it would have been nice for your son to have them. Could you ask your aunt for one or two favourites as a birthday present for your son?

Oh unicornsandrainbows98 you handled the teasing like a gem

She did, yes. An example to us all.

This nit picking is just childish bullying completely irrelevant and not helpful to the OP’s issue.

YANBU OP they were given to you therefore she shouldn’t have taken them back.

I agree with WorraLiberty, they might have very pleasant memories for her of that time with her Children. Our DD is mid-room move with all of the old stuff coming out of the wardrobe. Nice to see some of it again, even if it's just going to a new home.

You shouldn't of waited tile you're sun was 20 munths you should've of got them before if you wanted them.

Thankyou for your lovely comments 😊

Just here to see how long it is until a pedant turns up...

My lips are sealed.

Please don't feel embarrassed. It's just a gentle pointer for you!

Get over yourself missmouse.

Do you honestly think a grown adult using this forum is now going to change the way she types and words things, because you've given her a 'gentle pointer'? Wow, I'm sure no-one in the OP's life has ever done that

OP! Honestly, you rock! Gracious, polite and nice as pie! What a breath of fresh air!

There are some nasty and snobby responses on here. I do believe it's important to write correctly but ffs point the fucking errors out instead of pretending you're too nice to do so. On an anonymous forum, correcting someone's grammar is a good deed.

For the PP, it’s ignoring US duck heads.

Ignore is a transitive verb and WE are the object.

Always be accurate if you’re .going to be rude

Why are so many people acting like utter cunts on this thread?

Elizadee: 'Hold my beer.'

I do love that post, I would not have been able to resist either.

yanbu op the toys were yours.
(big round of applause for not letting the pendant trolls get to you )

Thankyou for everyone posting nice comments and solid advice. I respect everyone's opinions and take them on board. To some people they are toys and I get that but to me they were sentimental. After the age of around 10 my childhood got very turbulent so they just remind me of the good times while I had them.
But they are gone now so I'll just get on with it, he don't know any different so he isn't missing anything I guess!

I think the OP is behaving with far more dignity than the smug pedants on this thread. Is you life so devoid of meaning that intellectual snobbery is how you make yourselves feel important.

It’s a post on the internet not a deposition to the Supreme Court.
