Her Family Didn’t Buy Her Kids Christmas Gifts, And Then Her Mom Called Her Son Spoiled, So She Packed Up And Left Without Spending The Holiday With Her Family As Promised

A woman says that she married into a family that is super rich, and it took her some time to adjust to her new lifestyle as her own family is on the lower side of the middle class.
She and her husband then went on to have two children together; a 4-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter.
She admits that her children pretty much get everything they desire, but she would not say that they are spoiled at all.
This past Christmas, she agreed to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with her own side of the family, and they decided to open up presents on Christmas Eve as her Dad had to actually work on Christmas.
So, there she was at her mom and dad’s house with her kids, and her mom called all of the children in their family over to the Christmas tree so she could pass out their gifts.
Every year, her mom gives a little speech to all the children in their family about how good they were and how Santa got them great gifts because of their good behavior.
When her mom was done with her speech, the kids rushed to the tree to find their presents, but her own son and daughter couldn’t find a single thing for them.
“My son was on the verge of tears, and my daughter was quiet after the tree was cleared, and they were left with nothing,” she explained.
“I asked my mom what was going on, and my mom looked at me, then at my kids, and went, “Oops! I thought you knew. We all decided that we weren’t buying them Christmas gifts.”

“I asked her why and she said that they get more than they need from me and my in-laws and that they all collectively decided to spend more on those that need it. She looked at my son, who had tears running down his face, and said, “See, look at how spoiled he is; this is good for them.”
And then her mom just walked off with her son still standing there crying. She then went to the guest room they were staying in and picked up all of her belongings.
She called up her husband, who was out at Walmart picking something up for her mom and asked him to come to get all of them.
When her husband arrived, she grabbed their children and very silently walked out, but not before letting her Dad know that she was out.
Her Dad was upset, but he did mention that he got where she was coming from.
“We managed to cheer the kids up and visited my in-laws instead,” she said. “A while later, I got a call from my mother.”
“She kept asking me why I disappeared like that and said that she was waiting for the stuff my husband was bringing from Walmart. I told her VERY POLITELY that I didn’t like what she did to my children and that she or literally anyone else could’ve AT LEAST told me.”
“My mom said I was acting very entitled for someone who goes on multiple vacations a year. She then brought up my son crying again. I got pissed and told her that the reason he cried is because of her stupid speech about only good kids getting presents. My mom then randomly said that maybe he isn’t a good kid if he cried like that over not getting toys.”
She kept arguing on the phone with her mom before she finally said that her mom was lucky she didn’t grab the presents back that she had purchased for her nephew and nieces.
Her mom then kept going on about entitlement before she hung up the phone.
Her sister has since texted her to accuse her of being entitled, while her second sister and mom have accused her of pretending to be some kind of victim.
She’s left wondering if she has a right to be so upset that her family skipped out on getting Christmas gifts for her kids.
Would you be mad, too, if you found yourself in that situation?
