Mu mum buys me things for the house every once in a while. Maybe four things a year. Like decorations, little trinkets, etc. When she buys me something she'll tell me not to tell her husband. For what reason I can't fathom. Its not financial abuse. He buys things for his adult son all the time.
Anyway, tonight after she'd bought me a treat, she told me she'd bring it round when her husband wasn't around as he didn't need to know. I questioned her on it and, as he's a twat anyway, I told her a few home truths like she's always putting him first. We had very little money when I was growing up and yet when he came into our lives when I was a young adult, he didn't have a job, yet she bought him a car and spent loads on the weekly shop as he only likes branded items and not supermarket own brands.
He'll also not say hello to me unless I say it first and then not speak to me at all. If I pay for a meal or even a night away he won't say thank you to me. I don't want a fanfare, just a little gratitude.
I sometimes attempt small talk with him but he doesn't answer. He's heard me alright though. Well now, I've had enough but aibu?
