First off this is just a rant and i really dont want flames.....I do however want suggestions on how you would handle it. Please be nice.
So I went shopping with my mother this weekend. We go to the disney store and upon check out, she says let me put it on my disney visa and I can get rewards and get a gift card for the trip next year. Im like cool, no prob. She puts everything on her card and it totals like $95. My part being like $65.
We go to three different stores where she buys clothes for my sisters three kids to the tune of about $200. She didnt once offer to get anything for my kids. When we get home, She says to me, you owe me $65. I said I know. My dad says how much did you spend on the other three kids. she said about $200. He said what did you buy for these (my) two. she says Nothing. He said and your worried about $65 that you spent on them? She said YES she said she'd pay it back. So I go to write her a check for the $65 and she gets all pissed off and says Forget it, you can pay it later.
It just makes me so mad that she can go out and spend $200 on my sisters kids and nothing on mine. Her excuse is They cant afford it. Well NO they cant cause my BIL is a lazy slob who wont get a job and support his family. My DH on the other hand works his *** off every day and we are getting by so she thinks she dont have to get my kids anything....AND I have to pay her back for this???
So now I dont want to go to disney next thanksgiving cause I dont want her to go. I dont want to ruin our trip, but I just cant stand the thought of this mess.
UGH.
Oh BTW, I left the check for the $65 on her computer desk.....
