The Redditor (OP) is feeling frustrated because she's been putting a lot of effort into giving nice gifts to her boyfriend's sister, Amy. However, Amy doesn't seem to appreciate it much, and she's never even sent a ‘thank you’ message for the gifts the OP sent her, which makes the OP unhappy.
As Amy’s birthday approaches, the OP decides she's had enough and refuses to give any gifts for Amy's birthday. Even though her boyfriend wants to keep giving gifts to Amy because she's his sister, the OP stands her ground.
The OP's boyfriend thinks the OP is being unfair, calling her decision an "a**hole move." Do you agree with the OP's boyfriend? Scroll down to read the entire story and share your thoughts with us in the comment!
