The cheapest item she could find on her niece's Christmas list cost £37
The mum is the youngest of her siblings "by some way" and has lots of nieces and nephews who are much older than her child, who is seven. The mum and her siblings all agreed to "just buy for the kids" this year, but her sister insisted that must include her 27-year-old daughter.
Taking to Mumsnet's popular Am I Being Unreasonable thread with a post titled ' Buying for the 'kids' when they're in fact grabby adults!! ', she explained the situation and then continued: "Oldest sister has just asked if I can hurry up and send her daughter's present to her before she leaves to travel abroad for Christmas this time next week.
She added: "I don't begrudge my niece a gift but am irked that it has to be so fancy and her having it is SO urgent, like she's 5 and her Christmas depends on it. For info my sibling sent my DS7 [dear son, 7] a gift, which I'll need to wrap. It's a book." Another Mumsnet user commented: "We stopped when they turned 18. Sister and niece sound grabby. As someone else said she's probably had plenty of gifts over the years, when is it supposed to stop? I think it's different if you are very close and have only a couple and plenty of money. This year, send equivalent gifts to what your DC [dear child] has received from your sibling. In hindsight you should have created a list for DC with things of equal value to DN [dear niece].
