I have never and will never buy a Christmas gift my aunt and her family

My aunt has always made my siblings and I less when we celebrate Christmas ever since we were little. I come from a Mexican family and we celebrate Christmas on the 24th at night and we open gifts around 1am on the 25th. For most of our childhood we would go celebrate Christmas at my aunts in law’s because most of my extended family lives in Mexico. Well every year my aunt would buy gifts for nephews and nieces from her husband’s family and never my siblings and I. I also want to mention that my aunt was never had money issues. I remember one year they invited a family friend to the celebration and the kids were also our friends from school. My aunt even got them gift. For the next few years that they would go for Christmas. After some time we ended up not going the Christmas celebration with my aunts and we just stayed home. Just last year my uncle moved his family to the US. (I also want to mention that when my cousin would come to visit from Mexico my aunt would always treat my siblings and I less). On last year my aunt and her husband had issues with her in-laws so we decided to celebrate Christmas at our house. This year she did give us a family gift and we also have her one since my uncle and his family spent Christmas and new year’s in Mexico (they also stayed for a wedding in January). Then in January 2022 a cousin got married and and my family also ended going. But turns out that all the female cousins were bridesmaids from the groom’s family should have worn a gold dress. We are told my cousin and aunt a week before our flight and we already had bought dresses and they knew about that way in advance. Now this Christmas my cousin work with my aunt and their job doesn’t given them extended vacations or vacations during the holidays as they just started working there this around May. So this Christmas my aunt still has issues with her in-law but this thing we go to her house for Christmas. When we show up my cousin and her are dressed in matching pjs while my family is literally all dressed up. My aunt nor my cousin told us “hey you guys should bring your pjs” since they know that my family also does matching pjs. Anyways my aunt was the one who invited us to her house. At this point i don’t expect anything from aunt Because of all the other years. This year when I went inside her house I saw her tree and she had gifts for my cousins. And honestly that Kinda hurt me because it made my sisters and I feel a lot less. Like they just invited to be nice and that my aunt did not really want us there. And to be honest ever since my cousins moved t the is this the most we have seed my aunt and her family with all the birthdays and holidays. Before we would only see her maybe 3 times a year. And just because of all this I don’t ever plan on giving my aunt a gift for Christmas because as a kid I would literally see her give gifts to her other nephews and nieces and even to people that were family friends as a kid that hurt.
I sorry if this doesn’t make sense it’s currently 2:00am and im very tired and sleepy

Ask your aunt why she does this.
ReplyWow your aunt is similar in ways to my own. I don't blame you for feeling that way. Nobody would like to be treated that way. Unfortunately not everyone has the same heart you do. Nobody should invite you to stay with them and not get you a Christmas present. My own cousin did the same to me I know how it feels. Anyway you deserve to be treated better im sorry you were treated like that. A gift she deserves is a lump of coal.
