She Bought Her Sister’s Children Nearly $2,000 Worth Of Christmas Gifts, But After She Caught Her Sister Labeling The Presents With Her Baby Daddy’s Name, She Called Her Sister Out
This thirty-five-year-old woman and her younger sister, who is thirty, have a super close sibling relationship. And their bond has only grown stronger after her sister had two children.
So now, with the holidays right around the corner, she is beyond excited to spend Christmas with her sister and the kids. In fact, she has already finished up all of her Christmas shopping for the children’s presents.
Last week, though, she noticed something pretty bizarre while preparing for the holidays with her sister.
They had been sitting down together, talking, and wrapping gifts when she looked over and realized that her sister had labeled all of the gifts she bought with: “From, mommy, daddy, and auntie.”
That, of course, made her pretty upset– particularly because she spent nearly two thousand dollars on all of the kids’ gifts. Meanwhile, neither her sister nor the children’s father contributed to any of them.
On top of that, she has a pretty rough relationship with the father of her sister’s kids. In fact, they actually do not get along at all.
This stems from many issues with his lack of presence in the kids’ lives that she has learned about from her sister. So now, she feels like she will never be able to forgive him for walking all over her sister.
“My sister is very sweet and non-confrontational. She hates upsetting people, and it has caused problems with her and me in the past because I want her to stand up for herself,” she revealed.
Despite her view on the situation, though, the father of her sister’s children still has not stepped up to the plate.

In fact, he actually does not contribute financially very often, so she always helps her sister out with everything the children need.
“I don’t mind because I love them more than anything,” she said.
But, after she watched her sister label her Christmas gifts to include the kids’ father, she thought that totally crossed the line. So, she became visibly upset, and her sister noticed something was wrong.
Then, she ended up just being honest and telling her sister that she did not want the gifts labeled with the children’s father’s name since he had not bought the kids anything for Christmas. Moreover, she claimed that her sister’s baby daddy should not get to take credit for her gifts purchased using her money.
It appears that her sister was not expecting that, though, because afterward, her sister apparently became all quiet. Then, her sister just stopped talking to her altogether and started labeling the gifts with just the children’s names instead of who the presents were actually from.
So now, she feels pretty terrible because she never meant to upset her sister. At the same time, though, she refuses to let the father of her sister’s children be included in something that he contributed absolutely nothing.
In turn, she has been left wondering if asking her sister to stop labeling the Christmas gifts with her baby daddy’s name was justified or actually just a jerky thing to do.
Do you think it’s understandable why her sister wanted the children to feel like their father was involved in the gifts? Even so, do you believe it’s wrong to use the presents that she purchased rather than her sister buying separate gifts to add his name to? If you had been in her shoes, would you have said something to your sister, also?
