Mum 'heartbroken after in-laws ruin Christmas' buying her son his dream present

A mother has been left 'heartbroken' after her planned Christmas morning with her son has been "ruined by her in-laws" who gave her son his dream present she already bought him. The distraught woman took to Mumsnet to share her frustration and ask for advice after her son's grandparents bought a cheaper version of the main toy he had asked for this year, Wales Online reports.

Posting on the 'Am I Being Unreasonable' thread on the online forum, she wrote: "I'm just heartbroken. Ever since a friend got one in January this year, all my little boy has asked for for Christmas is a remote control monster truck. We've ummed and erred but it's the only thing he asked for this year so we got him one from the same series as his friends.

"It was £70 but having seen his ability to control his friend's truck and how well it lasted this year we decided it was worth it. It's a full-on RC truck, not a 'toy' one - if that makes sense, and we've been so excited to fulfil this year long dream for him.
