My boyfriends' parents are far more generous than mine

  • Thread Starter

They are always giving me stuff, they've bought me some lovely presents, and for our new flat they're giving us a lot of their old furniture.
For my boyfriend's birthday (once they forgot and didn't buy him anything, one Christmas they didn't either) they've bought him chocolate, socks, aftershave, some wine, stuff like that.

It was the same with my ex boyfriend, they never bought him anything big to memory, or sometimes nothing, but neither did his parents for me as I remember.
But my boyfriends' parents are so generous and giving, and I am so embarrassed. Every time I go there, his mother is like oh do you want this cream, oh this dress doesn't fit me, would you like it? They've spent a lot of money on me.
I've tried to offer them money and stuff, but they don't take it. For our flat, my parents gave us some tea towels, a photo frame and a blu ray player, but I feel like it's nothing in comparison.
My parents live in a different country, but I am just so embarrassed and ashamed. Once my Mum bought my boyfriend a packet of cigs as a present :s
My boyfriends' parents let me stay there for 3 weeks no problem, wouldnt take money or anything, though I did a bit of cleaning and babysitting.
My parents, on the other hand, were not happy after my boyfriend had been at our place for a few weeks and asked him to find another place, though they don't mind a week or a few days.
My boyfriend said my Mum was 'looking away when he spoke', and seemed rude. But my parents have invited my boyfriend on holiday with us 3 times, they always ask about him, and they've taken him to restaurants. (They only see him every few months, because I have moved to my boyfriends' country)

I just feel embarrassed about all this, and it's only after my boyfriend told me this in an argument that I truly realised. I am going to talk to my parents and tell them how I feel. Has anyone else ever experienced this? I don't want it to come between us :s thanks a lot.
