my mam and dad have offered to pay for my venue which was brilliant of them, however my bro and his wife are now moaning because they didnt get a lump sum for their wedding.
firstly they have 3 children and when they had their first my bro was only 17 so my mam and dad paid for EVERYTHING! his wife chose the most expensive things she could find i.e £800 on a pram or £150 on a swinging crib they didnt buy anything! Then after this they moved into their own place in which my mam and dad bought every bit of furnitue they needed which didnt come cheap either and they also decorated their full house.
only for them to announce that she was pregnant again. they obviously needed double of everything as their daughter wouldnt even be 1 year old when new baby was born going off due date so again along came my mam and dad and paid for everything again. they bought a single buggy and a twin for them. once baby number 2 was born they moved again and didnt have no money to decorate so my mam and dad decorated their 2nd house for them (this time they didnt want carpet they wanted wood flooring through out!)
then a year later they decided on getting married my mam and dad paid for food, venue rentals, bridesmaid dress hire, bridesmaid shoes etc, hair and make-up and flowers which came to about £1000, they had late wedding and no afternoon do but HUGE nighttime (300 ppl) and they had my mam do their food for them as she does catering.
then bout 2 years ago they moved again and had another baby and they had chucked out everything they had for the first 2 so my mam and dad came to the rescue again and paid for everything and redecorated their new house.
i had a baby 1 year ago and paid for everything i work hard for my money and as a yound parents i feel very proud that we have paid for everything. my parents are giving me £2000 which pays for our venue and food but they are kicking up a fuss like spoilt little brats and saying its unfair and that they want the extra £1000 that they are entitled 2!
i am foaming and cant believe them, they know my dad isnt well at the moment and my dad doesnt know just how much him and my mam have paid out as my mam normally does it on the sly for them. i just think they are trying to take my mam and dad for a ride for some money as neither of them work bro got made redundant 2 years ago and never tried to find work since and she has never worked a day in her life!
rant over sorry for long post!

Not that you are but you know what i mean, i hope! lol Icant belive the cheek of some ppl. Some ppl can be SO selfish. I wouldnt let it bother you babe your mum offered so nothing to do with him, he sounds like hes after more money and is jealous your getting it for a change and not him.

I think its about time that your dad was told the truth
i agree with lalabunni and jellytot your dad should know the truth.. sounds like ur brother is just jelous... i hope it works it 4 u... :)
CommentAuthorMrs Rebecca Hossfeld
Yup same here, that's not fair for him to be working & to not know how much they have helped out your brother & sister-in-law already!
CommentAuthorKerrylou
I agree that your dad should be told. I also think that your brother and his wife are ferkin petulant brats that need a good slap! "But we wanna go on holiday" I haven't been on holiday for 11 years because I have financial priorities such as child, house, bills etc etc - I can't even afford a honeymoon!! It's called the grown up world of responsibilities, sucks but it happens. Your mum shouldn't be giving them money if neither of them are prepared to get off their lazy a rses and find work, she's been totally suckered in!
If he was my brother I'd punch him and tell him to eff the hell off :P I do feel your pain my lovely *hugs*
It's right what they say
"The course of true love never runs smoothly"
But if it had been easy then we wouldn't love each other as
much as we do right now - 1 week to go :D

They sound like immature, lazy f*****s!! If they want a holiday tell them to take a couple of weeks in the 4 star hotel also known as the jobcentre!!! Why should your parents have to pay for them to have a life?? They need to learn that working = wage = nice things (such as holidays). And layabouts = dole = living without wants and surviving on needs (which doesn't include holidays).
CommentAuthorDiana89
They are pathetic. I can totally understand people needing financial help if they can't work or can't find a job but people who just can't be bothered p*** me right off. I hate my job and I still go there up to six days a week so I can afford things and I still get financial support from my dad but so does my sister and while it's not always equal it's fair if you know what I mean. They need to stop being immature t**ts and if they want a holiday they can earn the money for it.
