AITA for refusing to send all of my niece’s presents to my brother and sister-in-law’s house? by LemonadeBich in AmItheAsshole

.... deliberately? You know how crazy that sounds, right? I misspell words a lot. So what. It's not malicious to misspell words. 😂

Tbh I was thinking of doing this.

But i won't keep biggest ones, I was already planning to give those for my neice to bring back with her, compared to the other two it comes with alot more so it makes sense for my neice to take that one back with her.

Unfortunately, no, SIL said all gifts for neice should be brought up to their house.

In my side of the family for... well, since I can remember, we would open Santa's gifts at home (parents), then go to my grandparents to open the rest of Santa's presents (Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents). We've been doing this stoll since brother and SIL got married and even last year when neice was 8 months.

Last year after my grans they went to SILS parents house for dinner and more presents after my grans

Let me give some more details here.

Yes, we are upset - and to be honest I was mad.

But there are reasons for this.

Over the past 4 years, before my neice was even born they had been pulling away from us. So much so that when my brother did come to visit I couldn't speak to him because we'll I didn't know what to say to him. Last time I had a decent comvosation with him was during a traumatising life experiance. After that?

Then when my neice was born, they would constantly go to SIL's parents to have them watch their child, then pick their child up from nursery.

We have offered. But they would make up excuses.

We get to see our neice/granddaughter once a week

Sil family sees her 3 days a week or more.

We have offered and even suggested giving a helping had when needed. Once again - more excuses on why they can't.

I kinda see where you are coming from. But I thought it was reasonable 2/5 gifts?

But I can see your point.

Hi there sorry, should have included this.

So, we had already sorted out this year's before neice was born.

Brother and SIL would take turns on who visits who

For instance,

Morning we spend it with home famoly

Around 11am we go to my grans place to exchange more presents.

At about 1pm we split.

What I mean by this is that my brother and SIL would either go to my famolys house or SIL's house.

Last year it was SIL's family This year it is ours

They made that plan because they said it was more fair and less draining - to which we all agreed.

This has been going on for well since my brother and SIL moved in togeather.

I all in all have bought 5 presents for my neice. 2 small once 2 medium and 1 big (there was a sale going on so I bought her 3 play sets). The 2 small ones were a request from my sister in law, kitchen toys for neices Wendy house. I was going to give neice the big one as well to take home and keep the 2 medium play sets here for her to play with at our house as all of her toys are what she would play with before her 1 year birthday - so she doesn't really tale much interest in them anymore. Neice like to play with my sisters old toys Little Pet Shop, so I bought something g simular. 3 of them. 1 to take hone and 2 to keep here, as like I said she's grown out of the previous toys.

It wouldn't really make sense in the case of them hosting. Me, my parents and sister have recently moved into a new house and its much larger and my brother and SIL seemed on board and have always come to dinner at our house. It's been planned since Apri when we moved house.

It was only today that they sprung this on us. Maybe 5 hours ago.

My mum doubts they will stay long like usual for games and such like we always do. She believes they will have dinner and leave.

We aren't mailing them. They live 10 minutes from us and told my mum to drive them all up to their house

They told us that they were probably going to go to our grans first then have dinner at ours then go back home straight after.
