I've noticed that xh has been rude to his mother the past few years, still complaining to her about things she did when he was a kid.
For example: Husband used to spend summers with the grandparents away from his mother. One summer, his mother was leaving his step dad. It was up to her to pack all of his room, get rid of his pets, and to move it all by herself. She was moving a very long distance.
Apparently she got confused and got rid of some toys that husband didn't want her to get rid of. I have seen him give her guilt trip after guilt trip all our married life over this. 2 thanksgivings ago she did this. She looked at me and said " what is his problem! When is he going to let this go? How many times do I have to apologize to him?" I was so embarassed.
Last Christmas MIL gave xh a 400.00 saw that was given to her by a friend but she had no use for it. It was new in the box. M I L very tight with money so she didn't have alot to spend for new gifts. I remember xh jealous of this saw.
I guess this Christmas she gave him a collectible ornament and his comment was " gee is this the gift that still keeps on giving like last year?" MIL was hurt.
