Thank you! I didn't think it was just me being unreasonable!

I would give our DGS anything in the world if we have the money to pay for it, and this tricycle certainly is within our price range......but.....

... to be handed the layby ticket and told to go pay it off..... let's just say they are very lucky that I'm a gentle, sweet and quiet human being!

At the same time.... it's OK for us to spend money on their child.... but don't expect a gift from us in return. Am I being unreasonable here?

As for the lottery tickets! We don't issue lottery tickets. Not ever!!!

As for not being able to afford a token Christmas gift....they work... we don't! They own their own home... we lease the house we live in!.

Sorry.. I'm still feeling a litle cross about this whole thing.
