He has recently replaced DD's car and is allowing her to keep the money that she gets when she has sold her old car - which should be around £12,000. He is a generous father.
But he's a nip screw husband.
The dishwasher which I have had for 15 years broke down a month ago and instead of replacing it with a new one, he ordered the part required and fixed it himself (he's also very practical).
This part lasted short of a month and the dishwasher, which let's face it, is elderly, has again broken down.
It has been broken for a few days and I hate washing up as he insists on cooking and he uses every pot and utensil we possess.
I have sourced a replacement which can be picked up in store within the hour. But he says that he's going to fix the old one and 'don't you dare go wasting money'.
There are two days worth of dishes piled up in the kitchen because I am refusing to (blackmailing) hand wash anymore. He's stomping around effing and Jeffing because there are no clean teaspoons. Poor man.
Should I order whatever I want - I can get delivery tomorrow? Or wait for him to be bothered to order the part he thinks he needs - which may or may not fix an ancient relic?
Why is he generous with the children but not with me? Should I LTB? He hates me doesn't he?
