My father is an avid buyer on amazon and gets %99 percent of things he needs online, except food etc. As Christmas is coming up he's been buying for me and DS and the parcels are delivered to my door. We don't live close so it's convenient this way.
My problem is aside DS's presents which we now have, he's ordering us bits and bats like wrapping paper, present labels, little niggly things like a pack tinsel for the tree or window decorations. Things I don't need and can pick up myself from the local shops for a couple of quid or less, he has no need to buy them for us and I've said as much but he insists.
They all come individually and he let's me know on the morning which is due to arrive but of course they don't give a time, it just says before 9pm. I'm then expected to sit indoors and wait for the deliveries whether I have things to do or not.
If me and DP are out or he's sleeping (night worker) my dad then moans and gets the hump if the delivery isn't received. I don't like to upset him because I can't be arsed with his moods.
I'm stuck indoors again today waiting for a delivery that we don't need, DS is bored shitless, I'm getting irritable as I need to get to the supermarket before it closes early with it being Sunday but being in for a delivery is more important to him.
The majority of these deliveries could fit through the letterbox if amazon didn't insist on packing them in square cardboard boxes. Neighbours don't accept parcels on our behalf.
Am I being ungrateful or would this drive you up the wall too?
