Hello, not sure if I'm being unreasonable or my dm is. Shes 70 soon and were all going on holiday, shes paid for me and my dd. Shes recently come into.money, and we are so grateful, however its mentioned alot how she has paid, so feel its been reluctant.

I'm in the middle of changing jobs and the holiday falls in my induction week which I have sorted out, however feel its not a great start in a new job.
Tonight she has phoned to say for her actual birthday weekend shed like to go to Spain, after all its not much a first holiday when she's paid for me to go. I have explained that ill be new in a job and won't be able to take time off thst soon.
I had planned on taking her out for a nice meal and day out on her actual birthday but this now won't be good enough. It's all she talks about is her birthday and presents, its getting me down.

It sounds like she is using money to get her own way. She must be able to understand that someone starting a new job can't take two holidays.

Also I don't understand this new trend with people expecting their family to go abroad to celebrate their birthday.
