I spent months planning for the perfect Christmas. Now my selfish mother-in-law's sneaky act could ruin everything... and my husband is on HER side

An Aussie mum revealed her festive season is spiralling into a 'nightmare' after her mother-in-law called her 'selfish' and accused her of 'ruining Christmas' over a 'petty' act. The mum, who had meticulously planned her kids' Christmas gifts this year, explained that she and her husband decided to spend the holidays at her in-laws' home, four hours away, to make the season extra special.
She ordered all the presents online and had them sent directly to her mother-in-law's house to save time. 'My mother-in-law said she didn't mind wrapping them all up before we arrived,' the mum revealed on Reddit. 'When we got here, she told me most of the gifts were wrapped and stored in their basement. She insisted I should rest after the journey, so I left her to it.'.
But later, curiosity got the better of her, and she decided to check on the presents while her mother-in-law was napping - when she made a jaw-dropping discovery. 'I went down to their basement and noticed that the bigger presents already had gift tags taped to them. When I flipped the tags, they all read 'From Grandma.' Not just one or two - all of the big ones!'.
Shocked, the mum immediately told her husband, who admitted he'd known about the switch. An Aussie mum revealed her festive season is spiralling into a 'nightmare' after her mother-in-law called her 'selfish' and accused her of 'ruining Christmas ' over a 'petty' act.
