Basically what the title says.
My (31F) daughter “Maddie” just turned 4. We had a family birthday party for her including my mum, stepdad, sister “Liv”, her husband “Stephen”, their 5 year old “Callie” and my brother “Jay”.
We were all, except Stephen, staying at our place overnight, but Stephen had a family event the night before so came the day of the party.
When he arrived, he brought Maddie’s birthday present, which was one of those motorised ride on cars. Liv didn’t say anything but she was quite clearly surprised but I didn’t take it too seriously because she did say she’d left Stephen in charge of the presents since he has the more flexible schedule so I assumed she just didn’t know what he got. I also noticed Callie was upset and wanted to play with the car a lot.
Two days ago I got a call from Liv asking me if I could return the car to them as Callie really wanted it. I thought this was way out of line to ask and said no. Liv is now saying I’m the AH since I could easily afford to buy another one for Maddie but she and Stephen can’t. I could buy another one but it was Maddie’s gift, I think it’s absurd she’s asking for it back. My parents say since it’s causing issues I should just give it back or gift Callie one also but I think this whole thing is just ridiculous. AITA?
