'Bratty' girl's brutal response to aunt's gift as she 'wanted designer make-up'
A "bratty" girl has come under fire after her aunt bought her some make-up as a Christmas gift, and she complained because she "wanted designer make-up."
It can be seriously annoying when you receive a Christmas present that you're not the biggest fan of, but most people will grin and bear it so they don't hurt the feelings of the person who has given the gift.
One teenage girl didn't make a secret of the fact she was "so disappointed" with her present, however, when her aunt hadn't bought her designer make-up, which left her wondering: "Since when have pre-teens become so spoilt?"
The woman took to Mumsnet to rant, writing: "Gave my niece (through marriage) a Christmas present. She's 14. She is obsessed with make-up, and hair, and because of her dad, loves designer things. Shes spoilt. 5 star holidays, bags, you name it, she's got it or at least wants it.
"I gave her some makeup items and she was SO disappointed. She opened it, and the look on her face said it all. She expected Armani make-up and I got her Boots items. Either way, since when have pre-teens become so spoilt? Next time I'm not even going to bother. Has anyone else experienced bratty children? How to handle them through gritted teeth? Shouldn't kids at least feign excitement?"

In the comments, someone penned: "I think it's her Dad's fault more than hers. She has been taught Armarni etc is good stuff, but high street stuff is rubbish. I wouldn't bother next year. Just give money, or nothing." Another agreed, writing: "I would not bother next year. What a brat. Even my seven-year-old knows how to say thank you even if he is disappointed!"
A disgruntled mum said: "It depends. If she didn't say thank you for the gift or show appreciation for the gesture, then I wouldn't bother buying for her next year. At 14 years old she ought to have some understanding of good manners and gift etiquette - yes, even if she didn't like the actual gift you chose."
Someone else shared: "That would wind me up no end. But as people say, it's her silly father's fault, isn't it? I just hope he's got plans to keep her in the manner to which he has stupidly accustomed her. Or that she's a high flyer at school and will be able to get a very well-paid job to fund her Marie Antoinette lifestyle. Otherwise, I see trouble ahead.
"I don't think you should let it go, despite it being really his fault. Someone's got to try and teach this girl about the real world and surely she's old enough to have some clue herself??? I despair. Some of these spoilt kids live in a total bubble."
