Bit of background.. My aunt (mums younger sister) lives abroad with her husband and after years (20ish) of ttc and quite a lot of IVF they found that after 2 mc she was unable to carry a baby so now that they are mid 40's they have resigned themselves sadly to never being anyones biological parent. I say it like this because just before they emigrated they took me, dh and dc's to florida for a farewell holiday and sat me down at the end of it and told me that they had always thought of me as their non bio daughter.. Its complicated but they have always acted more like my mum and dad than my own parents so of course I felt the same
Anyway, my sisters messaged me to ask whether I would put some money toward ordering flowers to be sent from my aunts angel babies. The plan she had was not to tell her, just have them turn up out of the blue..
I said no thank you. I really think that she would have found today hard enough and although I can see where the thought was coming from I just didn't think it was a good idea.
Cue LOTS of foot stomping and now I am in the dog house for peeing on their bonfire! AIBU to just want to send a quiet message to my aunt thanking her for being so wonderful and telling her I am thinking of her rather than what they had in mind?!?
