I (F27) live with my husband (M29).
He has a sister Britney (F26)
Britney recently announced that she is pregnant with a baby girl, and is due in December.
She made a Facebook post asking for money or gift cards to buy baby clothes, and I sent her a message, offering up some of the clothes that we have.
Me and my husband have one son (M2), who was a Summer baby, when he was born, my extended family bought so many sweaters and other warm clothes in newborn and little baby sizes for him, that he never got to wear and have been sitting in storage. They are mostly gender neutral, in colours like gray, yellow and beige.
Britney agreed and we arranged a day for me to go over to her home and sort through the clothes.
When the day come, we were going through all the tiny clothes and talking about babies and having laughs. I noticed Britney kept pausing to look at the clothing labels and googling them, but I didn’t think much of it, until she started making comments about the clothes being “cheap”.
She isn’t necessarily wrong, my family aren’t the type who are into expensive brands. I believe most of the clothes were from H&M and Walmart.
I changed the subject and she didn’t bring it up again, but then later went off about how some of the clothes look “tacky” and how she can’t be seen taking her daughter out in them or she’d “look like an orphan”.
I was mortified by her attitude! I told Britney if she doesn’t like them she doesn’t have to take them, but she is being very stuck-up. She got defensive and said that she’s not wrong for wanting her daughter to have nice clothes that will last. We sat in awkward silence for a few minutes and I told Britney I’d leave her to it and I went home.
Before I even got home she told my MIL what happened and she’s expecting me to apologise for upsetting her pregnant daughter. My husband however is on my side and says Britney was acting entitled.
