I brought back gifts for my in laws from my holiday and my MIL goes Ah thank you so much and then in their native language goes to my husband 'oh I'll thank you also because you probably paid for them' but laughing and then my husband went to repeat and she nudged him. However, I got it out of him in the end. I can't help but think that's actually rude considering I paid with my own money and I also spent time picking them out. Now I am questioning everything I've ever brought do they just think I am under my husband's shadow or something.
Should I bring it up and just make it known that actually I paid for them and they are welcome again. I am a full time working woman and tbh I find it quite offensive to make out I can't be capable of buying a small gift without my husband's money.
