A couple of years ago my parents helped out me and DH HUGELY by gifting us a deposit for a house, made it clear that it was a gift, not a loan etc etc. We would most likely still be saving now if it weren't for this as house prices here are sky high.
Since then, every argument or disagreement I have with DM she seems to throw this back in my face as if she has some kind of control over me by helping us out financially, and will often call me ungrateful. We don't argue very often, but whenever we do and no matter what it is about, she will always bring this into it and call me "ungrateful" for disagreeing with her over a totally non-related point.
It is starting to really get me down and to be honest had I known that this would happen I would have much rather knuckled down saving for a few more years, but they insisted that they wanted to do it to help us and we should use our own savings for renovation etc.
I truly am grateful for what they have done as I know not everyone is so lucky, but I can't help but feel upset over this. AIBU?
