My nephew(13) shares the same birthday as my sister’s boyfriend. So my sister asked me to take the kid somewhere fun while she celebrated with her bf. I told her I’ll take him to the aquarium and then did just that.
The ‘spoiling’ part that my sister complained about came about when we were at the gift shop. My nephew was interested with a lot of stuff. I ended up buying him one stuffed toy, one guidebook and two T-shirts.
Now I know four birthday gifts might be seen as a lot for one child but I thought it would be fine since the book is educational and the T-shirts are practical. It’s also his first time asking for a stuffed toy.
My sister, though, got upset when she saw all the stuff. She said that I spoiled him and he could end up becoming an entitled child. I doubt that that would happened but want some opinions here. Am I in the wrong?
