When I was dating my ex he gave me gifts and I was telling my mom about it and our date we went on.
She replied to me in an annoyed voice "And?! What did you give him? Did you at least paid for the food?"
Im just thinking tf? Is she jealous that I don't do 50/50 and he pays for every date. I feel like this is some pick me shit caring more about your daughters bf than your own daughter or am I just too traditional lol? I did give him a few gifts too tho lol.
Honestly how do you handle family like this?
My mom is a mega pick me (don't worry, she's also a raging bitch with bpd and my dad enables her craziness, they're a match made in hell) and she often tries to say that I should accept coffee dates and other LV shit. When I mentioned an ex taking me on a all expenses paid week long vacay for my birthday she told me I have to blow him and when I scoffed and said I didn't blow him she had a full blown tantrum melt down. When he and I broke up later for unrelated reasons she insisted that it's cuz I didn't blow him. She also calls me a gold digger bc I expect men to give me a card in their name to pay for my make up, skincare, groceries, and whatever else I want while we date. She is always throwing the fact I'm not married but my sister is in my face like my sister isn't a stay at home wife to a man who makes six figures? She literally does the same shit as me and she and her husband MAYBE have sex once or twice a year cuz their medications destroy their libidos. But somehow me having D1 athletes take me to steakhouses and pay my bills is a problem for her.
At this point I just chalk it up to jealousy and her wishing she'd have had higher standards when she was my age. Most of the older women I know are jealous of the life I live. I'd say never take advice from someone who's life you're not interested in living.
