Hi, I really want to hear other peoples’ opinions on this. I come from a family where my parents really and truly go above and beyond for my brother and I, and always have done. Both of us are married with children. My parents aren’t rich or anything, but they’ve always wanted to provide what they can; so for example, we were doing up our house; they gave us some of my dad’s pension pay out to help pay our mortgage off and do our garage, they gave us a small sum when we got married etc etc, their providing isn’t just money; my dad has literally helped transform our house, he does bits that make a difference that my husband would honestly never bother to do. He and my mum support a lot like cleaning, cooking etc to make our lives easier given we went with the whole 3 under 2 thing! My in laws however, don’t really do anything. They do however, since having kids, enjoy time with our children. I don’t really have any expectation of them to do anything as I know my parents love language is different to many peoples which is fine. Anyway, just painting a picture for you.
so anyway, my dad used my husbands sliders to do some garden work, and my husband is extremely pissed off that he keeps using them. To be honest, I didn’t think it was a big deal? I get it’s annoying, but I see a bigger picture that the man is doing so much for us, and my husband does f all around the house. He irons and mows the lawn and that’s all he does, the rest is all me to be honest.
I feel really awkward about my dad. After maybe 4 times wearing them, my dad finally asked if it’s ok he’s using them and offered to get my husband a new pair. I told my husband to show him that my dad isn’t some monster, and he’s kicked off even more saying it’s worse now cos my dad knows it’s wrong?
it’s an effing pair of sliders!!!!!! Am I being out of order?
