My FIL is hard to buy for, we've done all 'grandad' gifts to death. I saw this on Etsy (photo attached) and thought it would be a good gift. I added all grandchildren's names including 2 of my SIL's (husband's sister) and ordered it. Husband and kids gave it to him yesterday as I was at work. He loved it, thanked husband and when told I'd ordered it thanked me.
Before anyone starts on the 'wife work' comments just want to add my husband does so much for me and us and I spotted this and thought I'd take any pressure off him.

Anyway here is the AIBU, my SIL has texted my husband and complained that her kids don't support that team and that we're using her kids on our gift and shouldn't have basically. I think it's the team that has pissed her off. She supports another team.

Is she petty or AIBU?

She'd also have complained if her kids were missed off.

Also from a football family. I wouldn't have minded at all. It's his team and he loves all his grandkids. Personally nicer to include them all.

Don't apologise. Her kids don't support any team - they're 1 and 2! She's nuts. Does her husband support the same team as grandad?...Halo

"Noted, I'll make sure their contract with Team Grandad isn't renewed."

SIL is a fucking drama llama.

If you hadn't put their names down, she would complain that her kids are being sidelined. Fuck her.
