Over winter they complained they couldn't afford to put the heating on. My brother lives away, currently going through some personal problems. They wish they could visit him but "they can't afford it".
In the last few weeks they have bought a new tumble dryer & new kettle. They've been on four days out dining out three of those. A couple of weeks ago mum bought herself a new handbag. She buys new clothes, decides she doesnt like it then instead of taking it back just throws it in the wardrobe. Just recently they have started driving to a farm shop about 45 minutes away just to buy potatoes.
What they actually mean is they can afford stuff they just choose to spend it on other things.
It's upto them what they spend money on but when they complain to me especially about how upset they are not being able to afford to visit my brother I have to really bite my lip.
AIBU to let this wind me up?
