Recently, a 35-year-old woman turned to the AITA community for a moral judgment. In a post which amassed 27.5k upvotes, the author wrote that she received a swing as a gift from her 16-year-old son. “He was so excited to see me open this gift and couldn’t wait to help me set it up,” the Redditor recounted. Turns out, the author doesn’t have anything nice, so she cherished this one special and expensive gift from her kid. Well, long story short, not even a week later, “My SIL comes over… immediately headed straight for my swing.” The author told her “to please not sit on it,” but the woman had another opinion on that and said that the swing has a weight limit so she had nothing to worry about. After all, the author showed her the box but it didn’t stop her from sitting on a swing that could snap in half at any time. So it did.

SIL ruins gift for birthday-despite weight limit ⚠️
35F’s special birthday gift from her son was ruined by her SIL before she could even enjoy it. Her son had saved up to get her a precious swinging hammock chair that she had been wanting for two years, but her SIL disregarded her weight limit request and sat in it, causing it to crash to the floor. In a fit of anger, 35F expressed her frustration at finally getting something nice for herself and being denied the chance to enjoy it. Despite her valid emotions, her husband and SIL are now placing the blame on her. The post has caused quite a stir-let’s see what people have to say.
