So really this is just to get my argument across and proove that i am right!!
so here goes!-
every year in our full 6 year relationship ive had to put up with adam buying crappy presents for his family.
We have a system, upto christmas we have usually bought our own families presents without each others help.
my families are always lovely gifts, i plan and research and earwig into convos to make sure i get the ideal present.
The problem is Adams family ALWAYS get us lovely presents.
His mum spends about £60 each on the kids £30 on me and about £70 on Adam.
His grandparents spend about £40 each on kids and £30 each to me and adam.
Ive never usually interfered because he always wrapped their presents before i saw em.
But last year was a real eye opening-
Turns out hes been giving his mum a £5 bath gift set from all of us and his grandparents a tin of biccies from all of us to share!
I was mortified!!!
He didnt do it coz we had no money, its because he left it too late (despite my nagging)
So i asked if hed mind if i bought them, he said no its ok ill get em summit
Ive made sure hes mams gunna be well sorted ive done her a hamper and getting her a voucher.
And i had a great idea for his grandparents-
Theyre into gardening so i was gunna get em a personalised plant pot fill it with bulbs a trowl, some gloves and a flask and do one each.
But Adam said nooo way im interfering and hes gunna do it!
Im worried that hes gunna do something like every other year
i avoided his family for months last year
Ive started buying little things to add onto his families presents incase he does the same thing
I dont think im being too interfering
