My Aunt’s Ex Bf Says I’m Ruining The Kids Christmas, Thoughts?

[hunterlays]

Okay so this is my first time buying gifts for my aunt's kids, but her and her ex bf broke up. Also her kids live with him right now just for convenient reasons. Anyways just today he said their kids are coming tomorrow to open up my christmas presents that i bought them, even though everyone else in the family keeps saying no, since it's not even christmas yet. He says the kids will be only allowed to come tomorrow to open up my presents because right after christmas he'll be busy with work. He literally won't take no for an answer, and we keep telling him if the kids don't come on christmas day to open up the presents, the presents will still be under the tree for as long as it takes them to come over. Then he goes on to saying how i'm 'ruining the kids christmas' as he says it, that i won't let them open presents tomorrow and that i can take back my presents i bought them since i wont let them open it up 8 days early. everything always have to be on his terms, he's so selfish. saying how 'you bought the kids presents early so now you won't let them open them up tomorrow, you're ruining their christmas'. also everyone won't be opening their presents up until the kids come over so not only would they be waiting, but everyone else also. and just a note he has a new gf and he'll already be celebrating christmas with her on christmas day and his side of the family at his house with the kids, and he has the audacity to say all this. so thoughts on this situation?

Give them the presents to take away with yhem. Why do you have to open presents in front of yhe people who gave them to you anyway?

Obviously I don't know your family set up but I've never bought presents for my cousins anyway so for me it's a non issue. Saying Christmas is ruined by not being able to open a present early is ridiculous.

I agree with bednobs.
It will be nice for you to see the children before Christmas but they should take the presents home to open on Christmas Day. You could ask the dad to send you pictures on Christmas Day of the children enjoying their presents.
It's sad that you and your family can't see them Christmas Day but the dad sounds like he'll be busy with a houseful of guests. Hopefully next year it'll be your aunt's turn to have them for Christmas.
