  • "I got my niece the loudest toy possible for Christmas"

    Hi R . For context you can look in my post history, I posted in last year about my family being really emotionally neglectful for my whole life and doing stuff like always forgetting my birthday or excluding me from family celebrations (like Christmas, weddings, etc). It's
  • always a bummer and last year I really broke down about it, but I've been to a lot of therapy in the past 12 months and I feel okay with it this year.
  • That being said, my older brother has a 5 year old daughter who is the only kid in the whole family other than some distant cousins.
  • She's the first grandkid on both her mom's side and her dad's side, so she's the center of pretty much everyone's world. She's super cute and funny and energetic, and she's one of the few people in my family who I actually have a good relationship
  • with. She and I have a particularly close bond, and I know it bothers my mom that she likes me more than her. Anyway. She's an only child so she gets spoiled by everyone, but since I'm the coolest aunt ever I spoil her more than most. I don't see her a lot
  • because I live across the country s, so I and also my family s usually mail her a big box of gifts every Christmas and then again for her birthday. This year I once again wasn't invited to spend the holiday with my family, but that's
  • not super surprising so as per usual I found her a handful of gifts and just mailed off the box today.
  • Now, I love my niece with my whole heart. She's the best kid in the entire world, but she's still a kid. And like most kids, she can be super annoying. This is totally
  • normal and not a criticism of her at all, it's just a fact of life that children can be irksome. And being that I'm not invited to Christmas (again), I figured I don't have to worry about maintaining a peaceful holiday for
  • my family. I also can get a little bit of revenge for all the holidays and birthdays that they've ruined for me in the past.
  • My niece is super into Kpop Demon Hunters right now and likes to sing all the songs and dress up like the characters. Since she's into playing popstar,
  • one of the gifts I got her is this super cute "sing n bling" karaoke microphone that comes with rhinestones so you can bedazzle it and can use it with built in speakers or connect it to Bluetooth. It is a real karaoke mic,
  • not a super good one or anything but it's not a kid's pretend microphone and has decent reviews for it's loudness, and I know she's going to love it. She
  • already never stops singing, and the moment I saw it in the store it's like I had this moment of divine inspiration.
  • A young girl opens a wrapped present while sitting by a Christmas tree.
  • Since I was a kid my family has had a rule that they'll never tell any of the kids to stop singing because my grandparents used to tell my mom not to sing and to this day she has a chip on her shoulder about it. When I was a kid my older brother went
  • through a beatboxing phase and no one was allowed to tell him to stop, it was one of the most annoying 2 months of my life. Even me, the family's black sheep and lifetime scapegoat,
  • was never once told to stop singing. Everyone loves my niece, I know for sure no one is going to tell her to stop or take the mic away from her. I know it in my bones.
  • It's super cold and snowy where my family are right now, like "roads aren't bad because there are no roads" kind of snowy, and they're all sequestered together in a fairly small house. Their
  • holiday is about to become a horror movie to the soundtrack of Kpop Demon Hunters, they are trapped inside and there will be no escape from the worlds tiniest popstar. She's going to terrorize the entire household. Every time I
  • think about it I start giggling like a mad scientist. I wish I could be there to see their faces, but of course the whole point is that I'm not there and I don't have to suffer with the rest of them.
  • Of course realistically if it gets bad someone can just take the batteries out of the mic, but I'm guessing at least for the first few days she's going to be belting her little lungs out at full volume.
  • I'm sure it won't actually ruin the holiday, but it will definitely ensure that it isnt a peaceful one. I hope my niece has the best Christmas ever.
  • TLDR: my family didn't invite me to Christmas so I bought my 5 year old niece a karaoke microphone so she can terrorize their entire holiday
