She Spent $4,000 On Christmas Gifts For Her Teen Niece, And Her Niece’s Mom Is Angry For Making Her Look Bad Because She Didn’t Spend Nearly That Much
This woman got married to a man who comes from a crazy rich family. Her husband’s family has so much money that they really don’t even know how to spend it.
This Christmas, she spent about $15,000 on each of her three children for all of their presents, which she admits she is grateful to be able to do.
She then asked each of her children which charity they would like her to donate money to in their name, and she donated $15,000 for each child as well.
Now, in regards to the rest of the presents she purchased for her family, her mom has always had a rule that you only get someone a Christmas present if you will be spending time with them on Christmas day.
And, for the kids in their family, everyone picks presents out for the kids instead of getting gifts for the parents.
So this year, it was her mom’s turn to host everyone for Christmas, and 10 of her cousins were in attendance, along with their children.
She spent time picking out thoughtful and cool gifts for all of her cousins’ kids, and she didn’t think twice about the price.
Her one 35-year-old cousin, in particular, has a 14-year-old daughter that she picked out some very lavish gifts for.
“She is the result of a one-night stand, so most of us in the family have only met her mother a handful of times and for only a few minutes,” she explained.

“My daughter is also fourteen, and two parts of her Christmas day gifts were a Cartier Love Ring and a YSL purse. I bought the same for my cousin’s daughter, as they are very close, and I thought she’d really like it.”
“My cousin’s daughter excitedly FaceTimed her mother to show her the gifts that I bought her and, upon ending the facetime, called my cousin very upset. She said that I spent more on her daughter for Christmas than she had and was livid with me.”
The thing is, it never occurred to her to think about the price of the presents that she picked out for her niece.
She just got presents she knew her niece would love, considering her daughter is the same age, and she knew exactly what her daughter really wanted for Christmas.
Her niece’s mom is beside herself still, as this woman feels that she “made her look bad” for not buying presents that cost as much.
She never wanted to make her niece’s mom feel bad at all; she just wanted to make her niece feel special.
She’s left wondering if it was a problem, after all, to spend $4,000 on her niece’s Christmas gifts. What do you think?
