DH and I agreed to spend about $500 on his sisters wedding gift which was two nights in NYC since they are not going on their honeymoon until school get out. They have us $500 and we gave my brother $500 when he got married so it's a number we both feel good with.
A few weeks ago he tells me he might have to spend a bit more and I didn't ask but figured it would be maybe a hundred more. No biggie.?
Tonight he called his family to tell them about Craig and was updating me on what his sister said. I asked him after if he booked their rooms because their wedding is in two weeks. He then informed me he spent a bit more and I said how much is a bit? Oh......$930ish!!! That is much more than a bit!!!
Then he got upset with me for him spending over $400 more than agreed. I asked if he would get piiissed if I spent $1000 without telling, asking or informing on something or someone and finally he started to see my point. Funny thing is....he just got irritated about me picking up something as a gift for my sisters house which was $125 and he complained. We always spend so much damn money on his family and then he gripes when we spend a little on mine. So friggin annoying. GRRR?
