Ungrateful niece
A couple of weeks ago, I gave her an Easter bonnet for her little daughter to wear today. She laughed at the time, but I figured she would get the child all dressed up for church today in a nice dress and put the bonnet on her.
Imagine my horror when they arrived, my niece in a pair of slacks and her daughter in shorts! No bonnet anywhere to be seen.
I pulled her aside discreetly to explain that they were both dressed totally inappropriately, and inquired as to the whereabouts of the lovely Easter bonnet.
She looked at me as if I had two heads, laughed in my face, and told me she assumed the bonnet was a joke and had thrown it out!
She just threw it out! I was quite upset, but made it through the service despite my anger and embarrassment.
Easter dinner afterward was also awkward, with her rudely asking what kind of meat I had served her. I explained that lamb was the traditional Easter meat, and she proceeded to complain that it was "gamey" and that her daughter wouldn't eat it. They excused themselves and went to McDonald's. I think I'll not invite them back.
My nerves are shot.

It's so sad that little Nellie isn't an older, hot nephew. I condole you.

Get her a gift card to Value Village or any second-hand store. She'll actually use it. It'll be like when a got a $25 gift card to Holt Renfrew.

Is this the first time you socialized with them, OP? You obviously didn't realize they don't believe as fervently as you do and don't follow tradition. Lesson learned. You shouldn't be offended or take it personally. Just their ignorance.

R3, my niece has no interest in or knowledge of etiquette and social graces. I have tried to teach her, but am simply regarded as an old fuddy-duddy.

Oh, darling OP, you seem to have so many problems with your niece! Aren't there any demure and delightful ladies in your congregration that you could socialize with and have over for holiday celebrations?

One Christmas I gave an expensive coat to a friend. A few months later he admitted not liking it and re-gifted to a nephew. When you give a gift, it's no longer yours to decide how it should be used.

Did the niece also ate the icing for the cake ? Or was that just the daughter?

OP needs to lighten up, and stop being a Miss Prissy McPrim. All the churches now have marquees telling people to "Come As You Are" for Easter.

I DO hope you remember your ungrateful niece and her bratty daughter in your Easter prayers, OP. They need your help if they want to avoid the flames of hell.

If I were you I wouldn't buy them anything else or invite them over to eat. If you must buy them a gift then get them a $5 gift card at Walmart. If you have to invite them over for a meal then get them frozen White Castle burgers with Ore-Ida french fries. It seems this would be right up their alley.

OP You should take a little trip, a rest cure until your nerves are well. There are several clinics in Switzerland that may be able to get you back to yourself again. My best wishes are with you.

You should beat them to death with the leg of lamb, then serve it to the police who are investigating the murder.

I wonder how OP’s now teenage niece will look with her neon green hair and long hooker nails wearing OP’s yearly bonnet? Or perhaps she’s using it as her top now that she is begging to “mature”, the little bint.

7/10 because I couldn't help imagining that it was the complaint of a FEMALE Deplorable. Next time butch it up a bit.

🤔 Where does one buy an "Easter Bonnet" in 2021?
Wouldn't a glittery easter mask be far more appropriate?
