Her sister was seriously angry at her, though, and texted her later– berating her for leaving before the candles were blown out. Her sister was also furious that she told Eric he wouldn’t be getting any more gifts from her and claimed that she shouldn’t ever make empty threats to a kid.
“But I said it’s not empty, and it’s not a threat. It’s a promise until they teach their kids some manners,” she revealed.
Ever since the whole birthday gift incident, though, she has started to question her actions. She’s not sure if it was right of her to discuss the issue in the middle of her nephew’s birthday party– while Eric was obviously present.
So now, she’s been left wondering whether making her nephew cry on his birthday after he started ranking his gifts was the wrong thing to do.
Were her nephew’s comments extremely rude and inappropriate? Can you believe Eric’s parents did not step in? Did she do the right thing by trying to teach her nephew a lesson? Or could she have handled the situation in a better way?
