On boxing day me, DH and DD went his parents house, we took along our presents to his family so they had stuff to open from us. His 9 year old nephew was there and we had bought him a playstation game his parents said he would "probably" like. Anyway we just assumed that if he didnt like it he could take it back and exchange it for something else.
So we got there, this kid (who to be honest I dislike at the best of times) was moping all day as he had not been allowed to take his nintendo DS with him, he was sulking and snapping at everyone until he realised we had some presents.
So after dinner we started to give the presents out, we had bought his younger sister a fisherprice thing which was quite big in size so when he got his present he moaned "god its tiny, why does she get a big one?" . His doting dad then pointed out that it was probably a playstation game or a dvd that was worth more money than the big present his sister had!!!! this was bad enough but when he opened up the game he pulled a face and said "oh great, that looks crap, I wanted san andreas" ! I was so annoyed at this point that I went into the kitchen and made small talk with MIL to get away from him. Anyway when we went back into the living room I heard MIL say "oh don't do that, just take it back if you don't like it...!" I looked over to see him booting this game around the room and DH and his brother just stood there watching!!! , I said "if you dont want it give me it, Im sure Ill find someone that does" so he just smirked at me and said "no i wanna break it instead" and started to drag pens down the cover etc to rip the plastic covering the sleeve.
I was fuming and told DH that I wanted to go home, his family just gave me mucky looks and when we got outside he said I had shown him up being so OTT over a game and that I should apologise to his family! We're still not really talking as I am so angry about this kid and DH just keeps saying the kid had a right to be annoyed if he was expecting a "good game".
So did I over-react??
