Hi

My patents are divorced and in new relationships - before this they were lovely caring patents but over the last few years they have cut me off - didn't want to get involved in my wedding, pregnancy, house move, etc etc. my mum has probably seem my dh 1.5 5 times. My dad does babysit. It makes me sad that they don't want to be involved in my life. Dh and my mum had a big fall out a few years back when he fitted a new boiler for her but now he want my patents to buy me a car and they have offered £600 between them but he said this is no good and he wants nothing to do with them. Have a brother but don't get on with him as he has differing opinions- pls help

Have I got this right ,your husband wants your parents to buy you a car and he's not talking to them anymore because they've only offered £600 and that's not good enough ? If that is the case then I think it should be your husband that you have no more to do with as he sounds like a real delight !

Am I reading this right? Your DH wants to cut off all contact with your parents because they will only pay £600 towards a new car for you?

And you say your parents aren't involved in your life but your dad babysits for you?
Your Mum has only seen your DH 1.5 times? How does that work out?

Think I'm missing something....

Why doesn't he think £800 is good enough? Are you parents called Donald and Ivana?

What happened with the boiler?

Why does he expect your parents to offer more when they have been generous already ?

Do you agree with him?

She has only seen dd 5 times sorry

Last one Smile

Is it your dh that's keeping your parents away from you as they don't like him

Dh fitted boiler and mum refused to pay so he ended up having to pay for it all - she did eventually pay. Job was done well. Dh parents are well off so he's used to money. Do I agree? Well my patents stole about £2k from my account when I was 18 and I didn't really get it all back - mum goes on about 5 foreign holidays a year and dad has good job - I don't know

Do you like your parents? Do you want a relationship with your parents?

The fact that my DH gets on with my parents is a bonus, but unless it is an abusive relationship, he really has no dibs over it. Perhaps the lack of contact has more to do with him than you ...
