To think this is rude

[Mashaandthebearr]

A friend of ours was talking to DP a few months back and DP mentioned he was getting a certain gift for DS for Christmas.

Well DP never got the gift and when I asked him why he told me he couldn't because the friend went and bought it for DS. He's pretty pissed off, and says he let friend know he was annoyed and hasn't spoke to them since.

I think its rude, however I wouldn't have told them that, I would have just taken the gift and said thanks. Was DP BU for telling them he was annoyed about it, and I for kind of agreeing with him, or was friend BU for buying the gift for our DS that DP had planned to buy?

downtownabby - YES, a big gift is either the most wanted gift or can refer to size, not necessarily anything to do with cost.

one year my DS big gift was a £15 kids cleaning trolly because that was top of his list and what he really wanted, its also a decent size... it had NOTHING to do with price but that was his main gift. It was many years ago but I'm sure he got smaller, less wanted and more expensive gifts but they weren't his BIG present.

I'm baffled by how you are baffled by this simple concept.

To be fair to us, we were responding on information you've given.

You said this:

He's pretty pissed off, and says he let friend know he was annoyed and hasn't spoke to them since.

And now it's this

He didn't he made a comment regarding the fact that the present was something he was supposed to be buying, hardly biting his head off.

Not sure how both could be true really. But glad to hear you've cleared the air.

I voted Yanbu as was confused with the voting but YABU. Your DP was very ruse

**rude

JustASmallTownCurl I don't know what you're confused about.. Those two things you put there are not very different. He was annoyed, he let friend know he was annoyed, as I said, hardly biting his head off.

@Mashaandthebearr

They're different to me but if they aren't to you then cool.

If I was your friend it's you being annoyed with me for buying the thing versus just mentioning it's something you were going to buy.

Your friend bought your child a gift and you haven't given it to him? That's very rude, I don't care what your reasons are.

MintyMabel are you just making up your own story now or? Because I don't know where on earth you got that information from. Try reading the thread properly next time
