Ok, this isn't about money given to the kids but money given to me. There's a family wedding coming up and my DD isn't in the wedding party but I've been asked to spend in the region of £50 on a matching outfit she will never wear again. This is before shoes to match and whatever else needed. When I said I was going to shop around to get it cheaper the reply from the in laws was "but you've just spent the same on the gala you are going to". I said I used my own birthday money for that and got told I should have used my birthday money on the wedding outfit in stead.
So I asked if I'm expected to spend my birthday money on my children and the answer was yes.
AIBU for not only being furious about them not allowing me to just shop around and not treat myself (never happens any other time btw) but also upset they are unwilling to even discuss it and instead make me feel like I'm failing as a mum?
