I would like to know if I am BU in feeling annoyed and feeling Dp has missed the point of the fun element of a little hobby dc and I do.
Dc and I go through my change on occasion to look for unusual coins, usually 50ps or £2 coins that have different designs on them. It is a bit of fun and we have a small collection, nothing huge. Face value is under £50 which is kept in a jar that we add to and look at from time to time.
Dp has been at home on sick leave for the last few weeks. My ds asked if he could look through his change to see if he had any unusual designs and found a 50p. Ds then showed dp the collection we had acquired and to look out for anything unusual in his change.
Dp has now gone and bought several complete sets of mint coins in their display cases and showed them to dc last night. Dc are a bit as to why he bought them and I am annoyed at not only the money he has spent and the fact he has now presented them with a complete set so there is no need to look for any more coins because daddy has bought everything for them.
He is now upset that what cost a lot of money was met with confusion and not the wow I think he was looking for.
He has form on doing things like this. I know some will not understand and think I am being ungrateful but I have learned to watch my words when admiring something. I.e. If I said I liked some wallpaper, as I passed a display, as an example,, the next day I would have several rolls of the stuff presented to me.
He is very generous but seems to think that buying stuff = showing how much you care.
