Who’s wrong or right?
My husband and I have are having a disagreement and I want to know if I am in the wrong. I was raised by a single mother that gave up everything for me and he was raised by two parents but his mother sacrificed so much for him. They both have recently been going through a lot right now and Mother’s Day is coming up so I wanted to do something for them. (It doesn’t have to cost a lot I just want to honor them) I asked my husband what could we do for them and he said nothing we don’t have any money and we have bills to pay. I told him we do have money and so let’s sit down calculate all of the bills and savings and whatever is left over we will take a small amount of it and do something to honor our parents and then save the rest. Let’s see what we got and compromise. He said no because even though we will have a lot left saved he wants to save it all and not give anything to either parents. I think it’s unfair because basically there’s no compromise and it’s my money as well. So I just have to deal with it. Am I wrong and being a brat or am i making a little sense? He barely wants to do anything for me and it’s my first Mother’s Day. In my head I was already planning Father’s Day for him. But I would rather us not celebrate me so we can celebrate our mothers if we can. Just to give you guys an idea. We have about 6,500 in total saved our bills will take half so we will be left with $3051. I just want to take out $200 maybe not even that to spend $100 on each mom. Is that too much? We also have a 5 month old baby and my husband was on parental leave and is going back to work in two weeks. He said if he going to do something for mother day it going to be something cheap for me but he don’t want to do anything for anyone else. He said he also spends $30 every two weeks extra going to soccer practice an hour away and said that we can’t use our food stamps to even cook our mothers a meal they have to buy the food and we just cook it for them. Be honest I can take it if I’m wrong and I will apologize to him.
