The girl said that she deprived her brother of a New Year's gift and explained that she did it on purpose. A Reddit user with the nickname luluamaris said that in this way she wanted to teach him a lesson for not wanting to give presents to anyone from the family. The author found support on the net.
The 26-year-old sister, who chose not to disclose her name, noted that her younger brother, 22-year-old Luke, never gave gifts, including to his relatives. The author, on the other hand, always loved to give something and tried to choose gifts as best she could.
She assured that their parents do the same. “However, my brother does not support these sentiments. He never gave any of the family a present for Christmas or a birthday, ”said the girl. The brother in such situations apologized and assured that it was because he was busy.
At the end of 2020, she acted in such a way that she did not prepare anything for Luca at all, not even a greeting card. The author of the post is sure that he did not even make an effort to find presents. Moreover, his parents regularly presented him with gifts.
After the girl's actions, her mother spoke with her to find out why she refused to give Luke a gift. Attempts to explain to the parent that in this way the brother will understand about the need to give gifts have not been crowned with success. “She said that I offended him and that I just needed to talk to him,” added the author.
As a result, luluamaris wondered if she had done the right thing. However, the vast majority of users in the comments supported her decision. “It was fair to leave him without a present this year. Perhaps this is how he finally realizes that he is behaving like an egoist, ”stressed FloodAndFire. According to Heliola, even a busy person can spend a maximum of 10 minutes on a simple gift, like a box of chocolates or a bottle of wine.
