Sorry girls... Here come a long arse ranting post!!!!
So the OH's brother has gone out and spent ridiculous amounts of money on fireworks for this year, and has then sent us a message saying he wants £25 from each of us (me, my OH, OH's sister and her partner) without even discussing anything with us first! Now I know £25 isn't a lot of money, but when you're on a pretty low income like me and my partner, even though we both work full time, have a house to run and a baby on the way, it is a fair amount of cash I could be spending on other things! Now I told him I was happy to contribute, but that I wasn't happy with the fact he didn't discuss it with us all first! He then tells me we're all selfish and want to just spend our money on ourselves, now that was like waving a red rag in front of a bull! So I went off on one at him about it and told him a few home truths about himself!! Now am I completely in the wrong like he's making me out the be or have I done the right thing and stood my ground?!? I genuinely feel to stab him in the face with a fork!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡
@simplymschloe, everything you have said is 100% spot on haha! I don't particularly want to give him anything but the OH wants to just to keep the peace! Think now I've said my bit, I'm staying out of it! But told him he can shove my £25 where the sun doesn't shine! Xxx
What a douchebag!! Sorry hun, he sounds like he needs to grow up, I'd give him a tenner and say he's paying the rest because he couldn't be bothered to pick up the phone and consult people. Overachieving idiot! Sorry! 😳 reading your post made me angry for you!!! Xx
@sairainbow, I have done lol! OH's sister messaged me and said she agreed 100% with what I said to him, but the this is, no one else seems to have the balls to say it to him! Xxx
oh dear .. keep calm and blame hormones 😁 though.. it goes without saying he is stupid.
@vic22, he's one of them ones that likes to be all 'I did that! It's because of me that happened' really pisses me off! Always has to push his opinion forward and make everyone be on his side!! @simplymschloe don't tempt me lol! I nearly threw my dinner plate at him too!! xx
the fact that he's gone off his own back to buy fire works and then expect you to pay an amount without asking if that is OK first is a piss take to start with. and then to say that your selfish, ( no you have a family to think about now) how is that selfish!?:/ that's really annoying and frustrating. x
@vic22, I'm so glad someone else see's it too lol! I'm still angry now!! Just can't seem to calm down haha xxx
Trust me @emmy_lou I have ppl around me who puts me on my nerves without even saying anything. I jus look at them and boom. But this is annoying and you dont have to feel bad or guilty coz of what u said to him. Next time he will remember b4 even thinking of anything stupid like this. Now let it go and move on and Njoy some chocolate I am having mars wants some? XxxX
