Her Sister-In-Law Stole Gifts From Her Baby Shower And Now She’s Telling The Internet Her Husband’s Family Is Upset With Her For How She Handled It

A 29-year-old woman is currently expecting a baby with her 32-year-old husband. Now, her husband’s family is very wealthy, while hers is quite poor.

“I’m not ashamed to say it and have a great family I wouldn’t replace for all the money in the world,” she explained.

“My in-laws are great too. They treat me good save for my BIL ~ Austin who likes to point out how beneath his levels I am although his wife comes from a poor family too and they are also expecting.”

So, her sister threw her a baby shower recently and while it wasn’t fancy by any means, it was lovely and she had a great time.

Her sister-in-law came to her baby shower, and she didn’t bring a gift or anything. The entire time her sister-in-law was picking her party apart and boasting about how over the top hers was going to be.

She even had the nerve to ask her sister how much she had spent on the party, then she “joked” that the dress she was wearing was more expensive than the party.

Her sister-in-law was being entitled, conceited, and completely nasty to not only her side of the family, but to all of her friends as well.

Weirdly enough, not one single person in her husband’s family tried to reign in her behavior.

At some point during the party, her sister took the presents for her and placed them in a separate room.

When the party was over, her sister was concerned to discover that some of the presents were missing, and even one she purchased was gone too.

After searching the whole house, there still was no sign of the missing presents.

Luckily, she has security cameras, so she thought to check and see if the cameras had picked anything up.

“I checked the camera footage and saw my SIL walking out with several gifts that were given by my own family and friends,” she continued.

“I was fuming I called to confront her and asked her to bring the gifts back but she denied and was hurt that I accused her of stealing from me and said she’d tell the family about me lying when I insisted.”

“I told her I have a video and have no problem involving the family too to see who’s at fault. She hung up and I waited then shared the footage with all of my inlaws.”

“It blew up and many of them shamed her for what she did and told her to give the stuff back.”

Her sister-in-law still refused to reply to her, but then her husband Austin got involved. He accused her of making things up about his wife.

He even went so far as to call her gross for even considering his wife would “steal cheap gifts” from her “low-class family.”

He also accused her of turning around and lying to that side of the family. Her mother-in-law also refused to accept that her sister-in-law was a thief.

Her mother-in-law told her she was wrong sharing the video footage and should have tried to resolve things with her sister-in-law in private.

I guess she had also put a post up on social media, and her mother-in-law said she would essentially pay her to remove it.

Her mother-in-law also threatened to get her husband involved and said he would be upset with her.

Her husband was outside of the country when all this went down, and when he got back, he argued with Austin.

In the end, she was able to get the gifts her sister-in-law stole back, but her sister-in-law hasn’t apologized or said a single word to her.

Her mother-in-law mentioned that her sister-in-law “doesn’t steal she’s better than that” and she pointed out there had to be a different reason for her taking the gifts. She refused to accept it was stealing, and she is now siding with Austin.

This poor woman is left feeling like she is dividing her husband’s family.

Here’s what the internet had to say.

“Maybe time to remind MIL that not only did you have video proof but you could have gone to the police for the theft.”

“It really takes some enablers to watch a video of someone literally stealing, and then go ahead blame the victim of said theft.”

“This absolutely is a hill I would die on. You don’t get to steal from me and then cry you’re the victim because I shared a video of you stealing. No.”

“Believe me, there was a whole other level of toxicity going on with this family before you came into the picture.”

“Your MIL should be ashamed of supporting your SIL. If she didn’t want it to be made public, your SIL should have returned the gifts, as easily as she stole them.”

“Keep far from them. I’d consider it a blessing to be rid of them before giving birth. You don’t need any of these people around your child.”

“She and your brother in law sound insufferable. She stole your gifts, it was captured on video. You asked her to return them and she refused and accused you of making the whole thing up.”

“You told her you have it on video, she still refused. You posted the video and she still didn’t return the gifts. The gifts only were returned after your husband interceded.”

“If she had returned the gifts, it never would have caused all the drama that ensued. All you asked for was to return the gifts, everything after that is all her fault.”

“At least you know to lock up your kids things and pack any gifts the baby gets in the future in the car so she doesn’t try and boost those too.”
