My dad spends £20 a year on me for Xmas this year, approx the same as last year. I am grateful for what he gives me and am not the sort of person to expect anything from anyone, etc. I know he loves me and we have a good relationship.
My parents split a couple of years ago and dad has a new gf. His gf has a 15 year old son who does not like my dad. Dad wants to move in with his gf but the boy says he will move out if he does so dad is still in his own house.
Dad told me today that he spent £180 on this lad's xmas present!!!!! I understand why he feels the need to buy him something so expensive and would never expect/want him to spend that much on me. But I was shocked and couldn't help being a bit hurt. I never said anything.
