DM (64) phoned this evening for a chat and we got to the subject of Christmas presents. She has brought dd a nice coat and I asked for some Claris face wash (£15). Asked just to get DH a small book token. I then went on to ask what she would like and she said "well, seeing as I have to buy 3 presents and you have to only buy one then I would like some Chanel no.5 (£50).
DM owns more than £1m worth of property and is a company director. I however am really struggling this year as DH is self employed and has a really bad 18months. I am working part time since returning from maternity leave and we have a huge mortgage. She knows all this.
When I said I really can't afford £50 this year ( have always spent a lot more in the past when I could afford it btw) she went all huffy.
Grow up woman!
