[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This feels off the charts overly sensitive, OP. Do you feel your child can only love you, not aunts or grandmothers? Because that to me is at the heart of your anger at the care person. You don't want your child to show love for any other female relative.[/quote]

OP here,

I'm the aunt who got the extra, not the mom who is upset.   Trying to figure out if other people would agree with my sister.[/quote]

I'm this PP. Was it your sister's DH that did it? Or was it a caretaker/teacher/aide who did it. That could make a difference.

Whatever the case, your sister shouldn't be mad at you. And if it's a care person and not her DH, then she is insecure if she is upset. My guess is that given she's your sister you know the answer. Rightfully upset or insecure.[/quote]

Neither, it was our brother who did it.  Sister is separated and has a toddler.  Brother and his wife also have a toddler, so he took both kids and made art projects for the kids' moms and grandmas, and then made an extra one for me, and one for an elderly great-aunt in memory care.  He said figuring out how to get it right was hard, but once he did replicating it was easy so he just kept going. My SIL (Brother's wife) was not hurt, just my sister.

I took her older kid and helped her make a gift, The but we just did her mom and grandma.[/quote]

If I have it all straight I think it's that your sister is hurting because she doesn't have a husband to help her kids make her gift and her brother taking on that role already stings, and then for him to give that same gift to all the aunts makes it even less special and personal. It's not rational or reasonable at all but I kind of get it. Nobody did anything wrong. [b]Hopefully next year her kid is big enough to draw a card themselves so it's something unique[/b]. [/quote]

Oh yeah, I’m sure next year this toddler + 12 months is going to be planning an amazing Mother’s Day for mom. [/quote]

You don't think a three year old can scribble out a card with crayons?[/quote]
