Search Results: odd fact about you

So there's this big issue about my nan giving £50 to her son and £20 to his wife (or equivalent in gifts). Her argument is he's my son I'll always give him more.

My Aunty hates this she says she's his wife of nearly 25 years now. And that their money is their money, it's not his and hers it's theirs, so just say here's £70 to the both of you rather than specify, "this is for a, and this is for b" (words nan has spoken before). My aunty's other argument is her parents spend equally on the both of them, so why don't his mum do the same.

There has also been some drama about the fact my uncle calls his wife's parents mum and dad. Which many in our family finds weird - personally I'm not sure how I feel about that. I think it's odd, but then, I was never able to call my dad's partner my mum, and they've been together for 18 years now.

I understand both points of view: it's a bit demeaning to be called son and wife, but at the same time that is her son and she is the wife. Like I know if I were to get a husband, dad would spend more on me then he would him, he'd still get something nice, but he certainly wouldn't spend as much. And that doesn't bother me at all.

Some background on my friend. She is very caring, strong, and loves getting people together. Sarah is pretty, always full makeup, hair curled, and always wearing something flattering. I am one who dresses more for comfort than appearance. I don’t like wearing makeup unless we are going out with friends or to do something where we are going to be in public all day. My boyfriend earlier on used to bring up how I should go shopping with my friend so I could start dressing like her. I told him her clothes are very expensive and not something I really wanted to put my money towards even when it comes to sweats. So for Christmas last year he bought me a bunch of lululemon. He says I need to be presentable when walking the dogs around our neighborhood. My friends have recognized when they all want us to do something the only person that can get my boyfriend interested is if Sarah tells him. He constantly gets upset with me that we never do what he wants, but he isn’t recognizing we always do what Sarah wants. He is a lot nicer and social with Sarah than he is with me. When I ask him why that is he says he would be the same way to me if I treated him how Sarah treats him. He is always asking who Sarah is dating and what she is up to. This is all so odd to me because he accuses me of having things with his friends if I even talk to them for 30 seconds, Let alone if I were to ever bring them up in convo. Last weekend I was upset about something else and it made me feel not good enough. He immediately brought up Sarah and how he doesn’t want her just me. My issue with the Sarah conversation isn’t that I think they would be together it is that I’m jealous of the attention and how nice he is to her in comparison to me. Throughout the night he would come up and say the same thing, I don’t want Sarah. I finally said I know for a fact Sarah doesn’t want you so I would really appreciate you stop saying that. It also just validates you aren’t hearing why that topic annoys me. So?
