So me and DP have been together for 8 years now, we have a four year old DD and a little boy due in October. When we called DP's Dad to say DD had got into the school we wanted he offered to buy her school uniform, since he lives a long way away and doesn't get to see her often, and she's his only grandchild.
We said thanks, that'd be lovely. So a little while later we call and let him know how much kitting her out will cost, he says no problem, he's got the money aside for her. So far so good, Grandads doing a nice thing.
The next day we get a call from SMIL saying there's no way they can pay for the uniform since she needs a new car.
Followed by her announcement on Facebook of the THREE holidays she's just booked herself!
Since then she's been treating us like we've done something aweful in accepting the help in the first place, when we didn't ask for it. DP has gone no contact, but I so badly want to tell her exactly what I think of her behaviour I can hardly hold it in!
Since I've known her she's cheated, lied, and been hugely aggressive and confrontational.
I never normally say a word to DPs family about their bad behaviour, which there has been a lot of, but would IBU to say something?
Sorry, that was longer than I thought!
