Husbands sisters got her son to ask for a tablet

Like as though we're made out of money. Cos he's the uncle he'll get it. Our own kids don't have a tablet (no iPad or anything) both kids are aged 4 (her and mine)...I'm just so annoyed like AIBU? We're trying to save money. He works and I'm a stahm (baby is 8 months). I don't buy extravagant things...buy things dead cheap so that we can save for a deposit faster...whereas SIL spends her husbands cash here there and everywhere. Why can't they get their kid a tablet themselves?

He sounds like a nasty piece of work.

Pethaps you should ask him to leave until he can behave decently.

Womens aid are there for you.

Do not tolerate him being nasty to you.

His behaviour would be a fool proof natural contraceptive to me.

He sounds really nasty.

Mind yourself.

Have you family support?Flowers

He was raising his voice so loudly today my 8 month old cried so badly. I rang 999 but couldn't do it.

That's so awful for you, I'm really sorry to read this update.

He doesn't get to call all the shots though.

Give yourself a break from him at your mum's and when you've had a little space you can start to make a plan. It doesn't need to happen today or tomorrow.

I'd encourage you not to engage with him by text etc for now.

billy1966 · 27/11/2021 20:56

You would have been correct to call 999.

This is who he is.

An emotionally abusive man that has a poor baby crying.

You poor woman.

Thank goodness for your mother.

Keep postingFlowers

You aren’t his priority petal. You need to be.

Withdraw completely. If he is saying shite like that to you, he has already withdrawn.

There is nothing less attractive than a weak man who puts others ahead of his wife and children.

This should be in your head now. And keep it in your head when you make plans to find someone who puts you and your bairns first. Flowers
