Mum heartbroken as in-laws give her son his ‘big Christmas gift’ he asked for

A woman shared how her Christmas morning has been ruined by her inlaws, as they gifted her son his dream present early. On a Mumsnet forum, she told users that she was "heartbroken" as they had celebrated an early Christmas with her son's grandparents, who had gifted him a cheaper version of his main Christmas gift this year.

On the 'am I being unreasonable' Mumsnet thread, 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 fulfill this year long dream for him.

"We've just come back from my inlaws having an early Christmas and they gave him books, Christmas pyjamas and... a cheap dinosaur-themed 'toy' remote control monster truck!
