A few weeks ago I bought my step son a personalised jacket to wear for his 8th birthday party that he's having at his mother's who he lives.
I found out yesterday that she didn't put it on him because apparently it wasn't spelt correctly so he wore something else.
AIBU to call her disrespectful by not putting it on him to wear? She didn't even let us know he wouldn't be wearing it or say thank you for us buying it for him or anything. She said she didn't ask us to buy it and because my step son already said thank you she doesn't think she needs to.
What annoyed me most is she didn't even give it back to us until I had to ASK for it back.
My OH thinks I'm overreacting but I can't help but feel so offended.
AIBU?
Who is in the wrong here????

Reverse?
If not that's a crap present that can only be worn on one day and there was a spelling error which you didn't check for.
Yabu.

She probably didn’t want the other parents thinking that the grammar mistake was hers. You should’ve sent it back to the shop when you saw the mistake for a refund.

I can’t believe this actually real.

There was a tiny little spelling error but I don't think it was that big of a deal that she wouldn't put him in it.
He told us he wanted to wear it but chose something else, but when I confronted her she said he also noticed the error and chose something else.

Isn't it really odd wording even if it was gramatically correct?
If it's for the birthday boy to wear, wouldn't it be "I'm eight". "You're eight" suggests friends or family of BB. which would be even more bonkers
