My mother in law of 15years asked me to lunch and finish Christmas shopping, she wasn’t sure what to get my 9yr old son. We met at the video game store; they were out of my suggestion; I told her of another game (I had already purchased for my son but planned on sending it back to make it easier on MIL)

Next store- I’m adding things to my cart for my kids; she is asking who they are for and PULLING THEM OUT OF MY CART INTO HERS. I nicely was like; “if you keep taking the stuff I’m gonna buy Santa’s gonna suck this year” she didn’t seem to care. As we are checking out I say I have to go to Best Buy next door and get my daughter her “big” gift from my husband and I; a camcorder. My MIL is a hoarder of casino gained merch (if you know you know) and said “I have some at home, I think” and I was VERY clear in my response; thanks but no thanks I’m excited to get this for her. MIL shops alongside at Best Buy; stands at checkout to completion while we talk about how my daughter has this #1 on her list and I was excited to see her open it Christmas morning.

2 days go by; my daughter stays overnight at grandmas. When she came home she was SO EXCITED to tell me that brother has 7 presents under the tree, she has 6 and NANA GOT HER A VLOGGING CAMERA! “But we need your help with the memory card mom”

WHO DOES THAT?!? I texted her asking why in the world she would ever think that was ok, her response “it’s a kids toy” AS IF THAT MATTERS!! And her son… my husband; he “doesn’t understand why I have an issue”

AITA?!?!
