Woman furious when SIL gives her newborn an 'offensive' gag gift.

When this woman is upset with her SIL, she asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for getting upset when my sister-in-law gave my newborn a &#39;gag gift&#39;?&quot; I just had a baby a few weeks ago and my sister-in-law came to visit. She brought a gift for the baby, which I thought was really nice.  However, when I opened the gift, it was a book called &#39;The Baby Owner&#39;s Manual&#39; with a bunch of jokes and sarcastic comments about parenting.  I was really offended and upset by this because I take my role as a parent very seriously and I don&#39;t appreciate being made fun of.  When I confronted her about it, she just laughed and said it was a joke and I shouldn&#39;t take it so seriously. I told her that I didn&#39;t find it funny and that I didn&#39;t appreciate her giving my newborn nephew a &#39;gag gift.&#39;  My husband and brother sided with her and said I was overreacting.
