Re: Traditional holiday arguments

[personal profile] philstar22 2019-12-22 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Every single year my parents argue over presents. They both agree earlier in the year they aren't doing presents for each other or won't spend much. Then they both do anyway. My mom in particular loves giving gifts. It is one of the biggest ways she shows love. My dad is a cheapskate who hates having money spent on him (he has to be practically forced to give up holey clothes and to get new ones).

Every year he complains she spent too much rather than expressing gratitude. Even though he generally spends a decent amount on presents for her too. And I can see her expression when he does. She just wants him to be happy for the presents, and his grumbling ruins the expression of love she's giving and ruins her time on Christmas morning.
