He Bought His Brother And Sister-In-Law An Expensive Baby Monitor After They Had A Baby, But He’s Offended They’re Not Using It Because They’re Afraid of Security Breaches
This man’s brother and sister-in-law recently welcomed a new baby girl into the world. So, he and his wife decided to buy the new parents a pair of baby monitors– the same kind they had used when their own children were babies.
At the time, his brother and sister-in-law seemed happy with the gift, too. However, he’s come to realize that they have not actually used the baby monitors at all.
According to him, his brother and sister-in-law are currently using an “old kind” of monitor that does not have any video or WiFi capability. He realized this after his brother decided to show him the baby’s nursery.
Afterward, he confronted his brother about the old monitor, but his brother claimed they didn’t use the gift due to security reasons.
Apparently, his brother and his sister-in-law are simply uncomfortable with the idea of having a baby monitor with video or WiFi in case of security breaches.
“Just before my niece was born, they moved out of their apartment and bought a house,” he recalled.
“And now that my brother said it, I noticed they don’t have any smart or WiFi-capable appliances or even a Ring camera.”
Sure, his brother and sister-in-law both have cell phones and separate work phones. But, they still use data on the devices as opposed to WiFi. In order to use their laptops, his brother and sister-in-law also have two dedicated cables that plug into the computers and allow them to get on the internet.
So, his brother claimed that they just did not want any devices in their home that could possibly be exploited or hacked– especially if it could put their daughter in danger.

“My brother compared a WiFi-capable baby monitor to him and my sister-in-law choosing not to have social media or allowing anything about my niece to be put online, by themselves or by anyone else,” he explained.
Still, he cannot help but feel offended that his brother isn’t using the gift. His wife feels the same way, too.
His brother is reportedly a prosecutor; meanwhile, his sister-in-law works for the Metropolitan Police and has worked on child-related cases in the past. That’s why he feels as though his brother and sister-in-law are “just projecting” their fears and overreacting to the baby monitor– which he believes is “harmless.”
“And it is causing tension because me and my brother because my wife and I took the time to give a gift that was not only thoughtful but also not cheap,” he vented.
On top of that, he hoped the baby monitor would make life more convenient for his brother and sister-in-law after having the baby.
Nonetheless, it’s clear that his brother just doesn’t want to use the device. So now, he’s been left wondering whether feeling offended or angry over that is justified or not.
Can you understand why his brother and sister-in-law don’t want to have WiFi-capable devices in their home after seeing how they can be breached? Do he and his wife have a right to be upset that their gift isn’t being used? Or is it his brother and sister-in-law’s choice whether or not they choose to use a present?
