A 19-year-old college student recently faced a difficult situation involving her nephew and her car. She has worked overtime to afford her possessions, including a car she saved for over four years to buy.
Last week, with help from her fiancé, she bought her nine-year-old nephew a brand-new computer for his birthday.
Yesterday, her sister and nephew visited her home. The sister often avoids disciplining her son, allowing him to behave spoiled and bratty. Despite attempts to address this with her sister, nothing has changed.
While her sister and nephew played outside, she was inside defrosting chicken for dinner. Suddenly, she heard a loud smashing noise. When she stepped outside, she found her car’s windshield completely shattered.
An enormous rock was inside the car, which caused the damage. She was furious.
“We have cameras in our backyard and a dash cam in our car,” she said. “We checked the footage and saw my nephew throwing a huge rock at the windshield.”
She added, “I was shaking with anger. I worked hard for that car. I asked my sister, ‘Why weren’t you watching him?’ She said she was. I told her, ‘If you were, you wouldn’t have let him throw a giant rock at my car. How do you plan to fix this?’”
Her sister responded with disbelief. “You should have been outside watching your car if you were worried about him causing damage,” she said.
Following the incident, her fiancé asked her sister and nephew to leave, which they did. An hour later, she returned the birthday gift she had bought for her nephew.
Her sister texted her, asking for the present back early. She told her sister it had been returned to help pay for the damaged windshield.
The sister then called their parents, who contacted the woman to scold her for making her nephew cry because he no longer had a birthday present.
Now, the woman is questioning whether she was wrong to return the gift.
