It can be really fun to save some special toys from your childhood to give to your children so you can see and enjoy the toys as well.

What would you do if you and your sister had planned to do this, but now she thinks that you should give your old toys to her children instead of your own?

That is the situation that the brother in this story is in, and he wants to make sure that he isn’t crazy for thinking that this would be entirely unfair.

Let’s read the whole story.

AITA for asking my sister to give some of her old things to my daughter?

So, my mother suggested to me and my sister ages ago that we should keep some of our favorite old toys from our childhood for when we had kids, which we did and we were always quite clear about which ones belonged to who.

Now, I have a daughter (3F) and my sister has my niece (8F) and my nephew (6M).

My sister recently gave her daughter all her old toys and my nephew was (understandably) upset that his sister got lots of toys and he didn’t get any.

His mom did the right thing to stop his sister.

Apparently my sister then said that he could have all my old toys and the next time they were at our mom’s she told him to go and get them.

My mom heard her saying this and asked her if I’d said he could have them.

My sister said of course her son should have them because they were boys toys and he was the only boy.

My mom said she needed to check with me before getting them (further upsetting my nephew).

Her sister is being unfair.

When I heard about this I told her no because even though they were mine and “boys” toys I still think my daughter would like them.

My sister brought up that wasn’t fair to her son (she also doesn’t think my daughter should play with them because she’s a girl, I disagree).

I then asked her as a compromise if she would give some of her old toys to my daughter and we could share them out equally.

She said no because they were hers and she wanted her daughter to have them, so I said in that case no.

My sister says this is unfair because she has 2 children and now things are unequal between them and my daughter doesn’t know they exist and is too young to play with them yet.

The toys should definitely not all go to the sister’s kids.

I do really feel for my nephew in this but I kept my things for my kids and I think my daughter would like to play with them so I don’t see why they should all go to her kids.

To be clear the solution I was suggesting was to put all the old toys back together and give a third to each kid but my sister wants them all to go to her kids so now there’s a family split – my mom’s staying out of it but wants us to sort it out.

AITA?

This is a really crazy thing to argue about. It doesn’t make any sense to give them all to the sister’s kids. Plus, what if this guy has more children in the future?
