Really feel mean writing this but it has seriously got on my tits! My dm asked what we wanted for Christmas. I told her politely that kids had everything they needed and rather than buy us presents we would really appreciate some money towards a holiday. I'm currently on crappy mat leave & after a crap year we would all benefit greatly from a holiday. Dm agreed so was a bit pissed off yesterday when she arrived with a bag of toys for kids. Me & dh got a few bits. I got a few pairs of primark pyjamas & a pair of hideous slippers. My dh got a gift voucher for a store for £25 and some biscuits. My db on the otherhand got shoes, trousers, homeware stuff and flights paid for for both him and his gf for a city break. My brother is golden balls in my mums eyes. He always pleads poverty and she must give him at least £100 a month to allegedly pay for food and bills. (He lives with his gf and baby) she doesn't work and is claiming as a single parent. They always have money for cigarettes and beer amazingly. My dh and I work full time in stressful jobs but we are by no means affluent, we just get by on a monthly basis. Never ever thought I would be jeleaous by it but it has began to get on my nerves. Her purse is always open for them.
