THE HUSBAND HAD TOOK BACK THE GIFTS HE HAD BOUGHT FOR HIS MIL, AND SHARED HIS STORY ON REDDIT
A husband and a father, had shared his story of how he took back the Christmas gifts he had bought for his MIL, after she wanted to teach a lesson to his 9-year-old daughter.
“This year I got a new job that has been paying me very well. Therefore, for this Christmas I decided to splurge on everyone . In particular, I spent a lot of my money on my nine year old daughter and she deserves in 100%. She has been pushing herself in school, helping around in the house without being asked, and always being the kindest soul you’ll ever meet.” the man explained that he had found a new job that was paying a lot, and so he wanted to give more gifts this year at Christmas.
“However, when my mother in law came early in the morning and saw how the gifts under our tree were much more than usual she asked why. I told her I bought everyone a bunch of gifts, including her. She then preceded to ask how much gifts I got my daughter and I told her about 3 big gifts and 3 mini ones. Apparently, this outraged her because she started saying that a nine year old did not deserve that many gifts and she would be taking away the gift she bought my daughter so that my daughter wouldn’t be too spoiled.” he stated that when his in-laws came to their house for Christmas, his MIL had stated that it would spoil the children, so she decided not to give her gift to her grand daughter.
“I told her that was unfair especially since my mother in law promised my daughter a doll for Christmas and my daughter was looking forward for it. My mother in law said let it be a lesson to my daughter that in life she cant get all things she asks for.”
He had stated that it will not be like that all the time, but for Christmas, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to spoil his children “Look I understand that, but its not like I shower my daughter in gifts everyday. And if anything Christmas is the day you are supposed to spoil your children. But my wife told me to let it go and it was her mothers gift and therefore she could do anything she wanted with it and her mother agreed saying it was her right.”
“And if we were going to play with that ideology then so be it. I decided to remove the 600$ designer bag I got my MIL, the thing I knew she wanted the most, and gave her a 40$ robe instead.” he had stated that he took back the gift he bought for his MIL, and changed it with a robe.
“Once my MIL opened her present she was disappointed asking if that was all from me, because everyone else got increasingly more expensive gifts from me. And I said yes and apologized if I disappointed her but we cant always get the gifts we hoped for. This left both her and my wife extremely furious, but hey the MIL got enough gifts I wouldn’t want to spoil her!” he stated the frustration the lesson of him had made his MIL.
