Feel bad for Husband

A lot of people will probably attack me for this post. I can see why. I know Christmas isn’t about gifts and how much money you spend.

But here’s my issue, today we went to my husbands family Christmas and it was kind of messed up. Everyone got a gift besides my husband and I. Now I could care less about myself because being a mom you really don’t expect much for yourself anymore. As long as your kid is happy you’re happy. Well, we purchased a gift for everyone in that house. I know for a fact my MIL only got my husband an Xbox game and a toenail kit. She got his step brother (her new husbands son) an $800 laptop. They also paid for 3 flights for her new husbands daughter and her husband and child to fly home for Xmas. My husband had to fly home too because he is in BCT and it’s HBL. So he paid the $300 for his ticket which is fine, but they literally paid for their tickets and never offered to pay for my husbands. It’s kind of unfair that his children get special treatment and my husband does a lot for them. A lot of odd jobs, or favors that his children would never lift a finger to offer to do. But yet, they get all of this nice stuff. I know his mom only got him that because she told the both of us that’s all she got. She claims she didn’t know what to get him. I know we are 23 and all but if you buy one child an $800 item and pay 1000+ on flights for the other child you will at least have to spend more than $70 on the other child. It just seems very messed up to me. Another thing that’s annoying me is my husband bought himself a truck last year and got so much shit for it but he paid straight cash for it so it’s paid off. They said he should’ve gotten us a house instead but honestly we knew he would join the military so what’s the point if I would be living on base with him? Well now we are ttc for #2 and his Tacoma will not fit 2 car seats both rear facing so we need to get a new truck and can afford it and I guarantee they will give us a mouth full about it and I will stand up to them if they do because my husband pays all of our bills and takes care of my son and I. Anything we need he gets. No problem. They don’t pay our bills so why do we have to hear their opinions? I am tired of it, unless they’re funding our flights or paying our rent I don’t want to hear it. They just make my husband feel like he doesn’t deserve nice things. I just wanted to rant a little bit.
