A nine-year-old girl ended up losing out this Christmas, after her grandmother took back the presents she'd bought her, claiming she had already received "too many".Her father vowed to get "petty revenge" on his mother-in-law for her heartless actions, he told Reddit.

He said he was delighted with what he had given the girl for Christmas, and loved seeing her face as she opened her gifts.But his mother-in-law decided the girl had already had enough money spent on her - and decided to teach her a lesson, reports the Mirror.

He said: "This year I got a new job that has been paying me very well Therefore, for this Christmas I decided to splurge on everyone.

In particular, I spent a lot of my money on my 9-year-old daughter and she deserves it 100%."She has been pushing herself in school, helping around in the house without being asked, and always being the kindest soul you'll ever meet."However, the mother-in-law did not appreciate the number of gifts under the tree that were mainly for the youngster.The man said: "She started saying that a nine-year-old did not deserve that many gifts and she would be taking away the gift she bought my daughter so that my daughter wouldn't be too spoiled.""I told her that was unfair especially since my mother-in-law promised my daughter a doll for Christmas and my daughter was looking forward to it."My mother-in-law said let it be a lesson to my daughter that in life she cant get all things she asks for."The mother-in-law went as far as saying it was "her right" to take back the doll.
