For context me (20) and my boyfriend (20) have been living together for over a year now, dating for over 3. I moved into his parents house with him after we graduated high school. This happened last Christmas while we were living in their house.
So on Christmas last year, we had chrostmas morning at my boyfriends parents house for the first time, we usually stay at my moms house Christmas eve and wake up there Christmas morning. He has a younger sister and one of his older brothers came over with his wife (they’re in their late twenties). We were all gathered in the living room opening presents when his mom gave us one of our joint gifts and made everyone stop opening stuff to watch us. We start opening them and when they’re just open enough to kind of see what it is she makes us hold it up and show everyone else before we look. We each had a T shirt and we just looked at each other like “dude it’s a T shirt why is she making this a big thing” but when we turn the shirts around to look his shirt says “snowman” with a little snowman on it, and mine says “snow blower”. At first it was kind of funny because that’s not exactly something you expect to get as a gift, but then I realized that his mom got these for us and his dad, brother, sister, and sister in law are seeing it. I just laugh it off because I don’t wanna cause a scene or anything but a few days later I decide to throw it away because I was tired of seeing it.
After this happened I kept telling our friends about it and asking his sister if I was being crazy for being upset about it. I think she crossed a line but at the same time I think she was just trying to be funny. It would’ve been one thing for one our friends to give them to us but not his mom. I thought it was creepy and embarrassing, because why would you give your son and his girlfriend that and make his whole family look at it first.
Idk am I crazy for being upset about this or was she in the wrong?
