About a week ago I mentioned to my Mum that DD aged 4 wants a pram...she hasn't got one so I said I would be buying her a nice one for Christmas.
Mum told me that there is a shop close to her with lot's of lovely, clssic toys that allows you to put things aside and pay them off over a period. This is great for me...as I'm on a budget....she then offered to drive me down there one day this week to choose one. Great...I said yes I'd love to thanks.
She has just rung me and said "I've just got DD a pram!" and I said "Why? I want to get her one for Christmas...." and she said "Oh it was a cheap wicker one...she can just have it now as a junk present..."
And I said no....I don[t want her to have two prams...you'll have to take it back Mum...
And she said "Why! It's just a cheap one!" and got VERY shrill on me.
I said "I dont want her to have two Mum...Id arranged with you that I would buy a really nice one for Christmas."
And she said "Well I can see you're very angry though I can't see why! i'll go now and let you get over yourself."
And I said "I'm not angry...I just want to choose a pram for DD for Christmas"
nd she said BYE"!! and went.
AIBU?
I don't want a "cheap junk pram just for now"...I don't want her to have two...it's wasteful and will take the shine off the one I was planning on getting. I feel really upset!
