My dad and aunt (who is married to my dad) are awful.
They make a big deal of getting anything for me. My dad always calls up asking what books I would like, I give him a few options, and then I am expected to make a big deal about getting one that costs about a fiver.
Worst of all, they expect a certain amount spent on them and my cousin.
One year for my cousin's birthday, me and my sister were waiting for our first pay check from our new jobs. We had both taken some time off to spend the last few weeks/days with my grandad and then the funeral. This meant we had very little money. We get a huge box of cousin's favourite sweets at the time for about 8 quid from the two of us. Please note that our cousin gets 3 for £1 sweet packs (keeps a pack for herself) and a £1 thing of shower gel while using her staff discount to get it all half price anytime it is our birthday or Christmas. If we are "lucky" we might get a cheap pair of socks (also around £1.
My dad pulls us outside and basically orders us into the car and to go get a better present with us spending £10 on her each...
On top of this, we are seeing how much they have gotten her with all these expensive presents coming out when we are expected to feel grateful if we get a card with a fiver in it.
I wish we had just gotten in the car and not returned that night. Instead we went to the shopping centre up the road and cried our eyes out as my sister drove me home.
My sister stopped talking to him not long after. I wish we both had though that night. He might have gotten a clue that he was an arse.
