This Guy Bought A $300 Gift For His Brother, But His Mother Brushed It Off As A Gift From Santa And Asked For More Money
When faced with the generosity and kindness of others, some people try to exploit the situation instead of showing gratitude. What makes this behavior even worse is that often it’s your friends or family members who do this. Take for instance this Redditor’s mom. After he got his younger brother an expensive gift, she decided that it wasn’t enough. So she convinced his brother that the gift he got was from Santa Claus making him think that his older brother got him nothing for Christmas. Petty, right? Scroll below to read the full story!

He needs to open up a separate communication line with his brother and keep up with him independently from their mother (since she obviously can't be trusted). And also tell him the truth about the Switch.

Receipts and shipping confirmations will reveal all he needs to know about his mother and Santa!

Supposedly, since she states it loudly while talking to him on the phone.

@Si, I am a firm believer in buying things for my Mum, all the things at any time, no limits. But there is a difference in buying something for your brother, and your Mother erasing you in that gift, not only had he told her already she could add herself to the gift as a giver knowing in advance she most likely was not going to spend on him, she went even further as to ask for money. This older brother is essentially the one providing for his sibling, by being born he does not owe her that.
