I am convinced my dsis has issues. She’s a type A control freak when it comes to a lot of things, but money is the main issue, I’ve never known anybody quite like her if I’m being honest.
She has always felt the need to talk about money in front of me, especially when it comes to how much money she spends on my nephews ie for Christmas birthdays, how much she spends on their clothes etc. She also feels the need to tell me how much she has in savings, how much her holidays cost, how much she saves each week for certain things, how much her bills are etc. AIBU to think this is not normal?
Everything with her is a competition especially when it comes to our kids. When my dc has birthdays and at Christmas she’s always asking what they’ve got and how much money they got. Not just in like a cute way either like asking a toddler what did Santa bring, oh no she wants details of everything. Even my dc have commented and said why she always asks. It’s like she has to make sure her kids have more than mine and better stuff than mine which is ridiculous. My dc have everything they need and some of what they want and I’m happy with that as I want my dc to be appreciative for what they have and to realise you can’t always get what you want as that’s not the way the world works. My nephews however are very spoiled and always expect to get something when they go out and don’t always show appreciation. Don’t get me wrong it’s up to my dsis how she does things with her own kids but she is so obsessive and it makes me anxious and awkward at times sitting their listening to her.
