Actually I know I am a bit but I am really annoyed at the moment and so I am having a rant......
MIL asked at the beginning of Nov when she was visiting us what to get the dd's for Christmas. I came up with a couple of ideas for her about the £20-25 mark. During the conversation I said that I was going to ask my Dad to club together with my brother and sister and Auntie to get dd2 her first bike as they had done this for dd1. She got a decent bike for about £70. So MIL says oh please let me get dd2 her bike. I bought dd1 a pushchair for £70 when she was born and haven't bought dd2 anything big yet. I know MIL is a bit skint so say no, it is too much money, but she insists so I suggests she clubs in with BIL and DH's Gran (Are you following so far....?) She says no she will get it on her own. Fab we say, thank you. Any one will do as long as it isn't Barbie and is one that will last her (ie proper chain and real wheels). She got in a muddle and thought I said any bike as long as not pink and found a Bob the builder one and a Thomas one in Argos. The price of the 12 inch ones is £60 so we found a Angelina Ballerina one on sale for £55 that we knew dd would love. Last night she came back saying that it was too much money. She was only looking to spend £35-40. My Dad has already bought for dd2 as have we so now dd2 won't be getting a bike for Christmas .
The ones she was looking at in Argos were the 10inch ones that are actually trikes with the pedals on the wheel if you see what I mean. I am so disappointed and annoyed as I said in the blooming first place it was too expensive for one person to get .
So there you have it. It seems so petty now I have written it down. DD2 will just have to wait for her birthday, but that isn't until June .
Sadly we have an issue already with her not listening properly, or just hearing what she wants too and I just feel disappointed again.
So, tell me off now ....
