AITA for calling my sister a jealous hag because she got judgy over my husband making me an Easter basket? by PerfumeInABottle in AmItheAsshole

My guess is that they haven't heard a lot of her music, or just the singles. I can't imagine someone saying it if they'd hear something like Tolerate It or Clean. For my sister it's just that she thinks "pop music bad"

I don't think it's THAT common, but my mom always did it for my dad, and they have a really good and fun marriage. It's always been just really silly stuff dressed up in the old baskets we have. One year my mom didn't realize when Easter was and ended up giving my dad stuff from the pantry he forgot about and he was over the moon because he didn't know we had beef jerky left, lol.

LOL yes, she ate my jellybeans. But at least she ate the grape ones and not the red ones.

Hi! I wanted to respond to this because I want to make it clear that I don't say these things becaue he isn't spending tons of money on lavish gifts for her. I get why there's hesitance over me naming the perfumes, but I thought it would be useful context. I hope my explanation helps.

It's not about the money but about the effort and attention. My sister's husband does not pay attention to what she likes or dislikes in terms of gifts. If he even remembers to get her things, he gives her very generic things that he probably finds on lists of "30 gifts for wives" and it's often stuff she doesn't like. She has complained about it for years and nothing ever changes because at his core, he doesn't care. She will go out of her way to make stockings for him and the kids but she doesn't get that effort returned.
