I'm going to try to make a long story short.....
Last month hubby and I needed some extra money and didn't have it at the time. My parents couldn't loan it to us so we called hubby's parents. They told us they didn't have it at the time but hubby's grandpa would loan it to us then his parents would pay him back for hubby's graduation gift. Well it's now June and hubby's grandpa sent us a snotty e-mail and called us demanding his money. Hubby called his mom and she said we don't have any money and can't pay him. GREAT! Hubby argues with her then I hang up the phone, it wasn't worth it. Well his dad called us, not knowing what all his mom just said, and they are planning to take TWO trips this year. How can you go on trips with no money? Mind you his parents ALWAYS brag at how much money they have but when it always comes down to it they are so in debt they can't see straight. Ugh! I guess we are just going to pay his grandpa back just to shut him up. We have part of the money, yeah, but it's just the thought. I really don't like his side anyways.
Never have, probably never will. I keep trying but I go okay for a few months then they do stuff like this, always.
Hubby doesn't see this as a problem, but they always do it. We've went without much food and gas before while they took a busload of their church "friends" out to eat. They are just like that. Also, they said they were going to help hubby pay for college, they helped his freshman year then bailed on him. That is also not a problem for him.
I just don't get why he can't express how he feels to them. He pours it on me then is super nice to them and I explode, it's just not fair and I get so confused. Can someone please help me understand men?!?!?! LOL Am I wrong for telling him he needs to express his feelings? I admit talking to them will be like talking to a brick wall.....ugh! It just puts a lot on me when he complains how bad it is then sweet talks them. I'm getting sick of it.
