Another moany thread....
Ok, so from my elderly dad and and his wife I got..... A diary.
Feel grabby moaning about it.I'd rather they just not bother buying me anything. This is after years of shit presents at Christmas. It was my mum who bought presents when she was alive, my dad has handed this task over to his wife who has probably got to the stage where she can't be bothered buying anything. She'll make a point of saying that my dad chose something for me when all she's probably done is hold two things up and say which one shall we give Mrswinkler.....
Yes, I miss my mum and yes, I don't have the best relationship with his wife and I'm sad my dad's health is deteriorating now so that in my contact with them it's her I have to deal with most of the time rather than my dad. I got £50 in a card from my ex's DM this year, she has hardly anything compared to my dad and his wife and I really appreciate her thinking of me, she's always bought thoughtful presents, but now prefers cash as she can't get out to shop. It's not about money though just about the thought (or lack of it) when selecting gifts.
I want to say just don't bother with presents in future. AIBU? I'd actually like to ask what she bought her own daughter (my age) bet it wasn't a lousy diary. She wasn't in when I rang to wish them happy Christmas, just spoke to my dad, so I'll have to say 'thanks' at some point. Do I make a point about how I feel or just leave it?
