OP of the first story is a good lad for getting their nephews into PC gaming. Getting a PC, even a starter one, was a massive thing for me and I always love seeing people get introduced in a similar fashion! That Karen can buy their spoiled brat a PC their self if they deserve it so much.

The first story: OP laid down a boundary and entitled mom as well as entitled kid couldn't handle it. I doubt very much this made an impact on the way she will raise her child. I'm sure, she will paint OP as a mean adult who didn't want him to be happy. I've seen it. I've also been in OP's shoes. One day entitled mom will wonder what went wrong when she's dealing with the overgrown man-child she has raised.

i love how op's brother and sister in law aren't entitled but i love how op gave his or her nephews the gaming pc.

For the nephews, I would have handed Karen cash in the amount almost equal to what she spent on them. If she only spent $5, hand her $6 and point out that you spent more on blood and non blood relations than she spent on actual blood relatives

[stonedjasonvoorhees]

I often wonder if Mother raised me incorrectly. I mean, she tells me to murder any trespassers to my lake, and I do, so that's gotta be messed up. Then I hear stories like this...

[dhenderson]

I think it is great that your nephews and nieces loved the presents you made, and prefered that over what the spoilt kid got, because you made it for them.

They sound like grateful kids.

[andrewwatkins]

note to self never ever let Karen or her kid near the gaming pc

Second story: at least the guy was sorry for it. Any karen would find a way to put the blame on you.

Dude, I’m 14 and I’m working to buy my own pc. This Karen needs to get a reality check.

[rushoflife]

God Story 1 that kid needs a reality check. Mom too. EK got a $500 switch, the nephews got a $700 pc it’s pretty fair tbh!

[johnhill]

That entitled Karen in the first story is also a hypocrite because how can she only spend like up to ten bucks on the other kids while also turning around and expecting someone else to pay up to $700 for her kid?!

Reminds me of one of the last christmases I ever celebrated many years ago, my mom INSISTED I had to go to the great uncles place instead of working. I get there, and while everyone went nuts over my sister, I was getting odd looks. My sister got tons of stuff, and my gift? An open tin of Walgreens cookies with half the cookies eaten.

Story 1: I’m gonna go ahead and act like the entitled Karen and her hell spawn don’t exist and that whole situation never happened and just be happy for the nephews who totally deserved those PCs

First story makes me think of Christmas 1969. (story told to me by my aunt)
A little backstory...my father LOVED Christmas, as in the house lit up like Christmas Vacation LOVED Christmas. This year, his sister and mother were struggling financially and weren't going to be able to get my cousin (sister's son) any presents for Christmas. And my father and mother were having serious marital problems at this time.
My father gave my mother $50 to buy presents for my cousin. (Note: my cousin and I are both almost three at the time). $50 in 1969 was able $400 in 2023 money.
Christmas cousin and I are sitting at the tree, I'm opening one of my presents when my mother hands my cousin a flat box and says Merry Christmas. My mother has this devilish grin on her face. My cousin opens the gift and it was a suit. A small suit for a three-year-old. The price tag was still on the coat $48. yeah, my mother spent the whole amount on one outfit that he will outgrow in six months. My father was livid. But he kept his composure. He went to the tree and took the tags off a few gifts meant for me to give to my cousin. I didn't notice because I was happy with what I already got. After the gifts were open, he hugged me, my cousin, my aunt, and my grandmother. He then said I'm leaving before I do something I regret, while staring at my mother.
My father didn't return until December 30 and handed my mother divorce papers. That act of cruelty in his eyes was the last straw. The saddest part about this whole ordeal was this was my father's last Christmas. He was killed by a drunk driver nine months later in 1970.

OP: *puts this entitled Karen in her place*

The first story reminds me of a Christmas I don’t really remember but know about through my other family members telling me about it. When I was about 5 my family got invited to celebrate Christmas at my grandparents house. I’m surprised we went because my sister was a baby and we had to fly to visit. My grandpa insisted that my parents didn’t have to buy/ bring gifts and that he and his wife would cover everything. I remember getting a big doll, sledding with my youngest uncle, and visiting my other uncle and seeing his then gfs dogs. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I found out that all the gifts my siblings and I got were from dollar/ bargain stores while my youngest uncle gifts were all big brands he also got way more then my siblings and I combined. My uncle was thankfully not spoiled brat and was always nice to me and my siblings. My mom was incredibly upset but hid it well from us cause again I only have positive memories of this Christmas. Thankfully my youngest uncle was not blamed for his parents actions and I honestly have the best relationship with him then any of my extended family members.

Story 2: In the early '00s my own dad and myself used to do wood cutting, including tree removal, as a side job. He wasn't bonded to do this because the insurance for the bond would have been too expensive. But my dad knew how much of a liability that would be so just would refuse to cut down any trees where there was a house. Sometimes a customer would lie on the phone about the job only for us to get there and find out that they wanted us to cut a tree down right next to their house. Some of them would get really pissy about it too when we refused.

We eventually my dad and I got to see exactly why it was a good idea to not take on those jobs when on my dad's associated took a risky job and ended up dropping a tree on a customers house. Turns out the customer had a tree with some sort of infection that made it very weak in one spot so the whole thing just shattered when he started falling it. Ended up smashing up a customer's garage and his expensive car inside of it. The wood cutter made the customer signed a waiver, but the customer's lawyer still sued the wood cutter.

The kid in first story is understandably disappointed that all the other kids got a PC. If he was young enough, he probably wouldn't under stand that he was different then the other kids.

Most places that have a "members only" door usually have an exception for staff. Especially if nobody is there
