to be annoyed with my sister?

[MamaG]

sis is always ALWAYS late sending birthday presents to my dc. DD was 10 6 weeks ago and still no sign of present! She had sorted something, but it didn't work so kept trying to "sort it out" apparently. I said to her last week to just get her that for christmas and buy her something else for her birthday. I think 6 weeks is a long time for a 10 year old to wait!

Sis doesn't have any dc but I have told her how importnat birthdays are to children. DH (who doesn't get on with her that well at the best of times) is really annoyed with her, DD is wondering if her auntie is going to send her a birthday gift and I just wnat to kick her up the arse!

AIBU?

I am crap at even remembering my nieces and nephews and godchildrens birthdays - but then there are 9 nephews and nieces and 2 godchildren so its tough to stay on top of things, and as for getting my shit together to select, buy wrap and get to the post office to send present in sufficient time to reach said child on borthday - well its frankly beyond me .... however I never tell them they are going to get something, and I end up buying them something the next time we see them after the birthday. YABabitU about the expectation but YANBU to be grr at your sister if she told your dd to expect a great present....

I do think YAB a bit U

It's annoying that your sis got dd's hopes up, but it sounds like she meant well
I bet your dd knows Aunty Scatty Sis loves her dearly, and means well but just isn't very together

I am of course totally biased, being always frequently late with my darling nephew's presents
