His response does seem pretty rude. I mean he could’ve just said he spent a lot of the budget on the gift he already got so he can’t get anything else. I would be bothered by the phrasing but idk him and maybe he’s joking
This would motivate me more then anything to go and get my own income. Petty would not imagine the levels I’d go to be my own atm 😂 See how he feels about your small gifts when he’s paying $ for childcare
He answered in a very rude way and I would 100% be upset too.
Thanks - I’m 💯 planning on finding something when my youngest starts school next year - but I just wanted clarification that I wasn’t being hormonal 😂
I was a snappy response on his part, but in a calmer moment ask him if you do make him feel like an ATM (he'll say no). Then you can ask him if he's worried about money (long pause, it might take him a minute to say so if it's a yes) and if it's not something serious why he'd say that to you? Another long pause, and you can let him know it hurt that he would say that about you. Was something else bothering him that day or is he feeling generally unappreciated? Maybe there is something you could do for him that would make him feel more appreciated and valued that would be worth more to him than receiving the small gifts. You're not ungrateful, you're both just miscommunicating and there is a lot you can gain for your relationship by sorting this out.
Me and my husband either set a budget or this year we’ve agreed to get each other 1 good gift and of course stocking stuffers. So no one feels bad and it stays pretty even
