The Gifts Aren’t the Only Thing That Are Tasteless with This Post
This post clearly shows that entitlement is an issue for the mother. Secondarily, she should understand it’s totally fine to give her son a used toy as long it makes him happy, and the gift itself is in good condition. In reality, most kids don’t care where their toys come from or if they’re new–they just want to play with them!
The other problem is that this uncle/brother likes to boast about being cheap. If he does it because he genuinely wants to save money, that’s one thing. But bragging about your stinginess in front of the people who have to receive your gifts is just a bit too tacky for our liking.
