TL;DR: Ugh I just need to rant about how she was whining to my husband before about not being able to touch a pokemon card. Yes whining like a child. Ive had it up to here with her whining, pouting, and stomping her feet all the time. Has no one told her to grow out of that shit?!
My husband and I are starting a trading card business and it has been a fun way to heal his inner child and connect with his parents over something they used to enjoy together. We open the cards together and send what we dont keep to get professionally graded to sell.
His mom has found ways to make it all about herself “don’t open these without me” or taking it personal when she doesnt pull a good card. Whatever thats just how she is. However today was ridiculous. We brought a box upstairs to open with them over breakfast. It had 3 promo cards and some packs inside. My husband opened the box and was excited about the promo cards. He mentioned wanting to send them to be graded and that no one could touch them until they were each in a protective case. Immediately his mom stuck her hands out, shook them and said “gimme gimme gimme”
He repeated what he said and she pouted harder. “My hands are clean i swear! Gimme gimme gimme!”
He repeated himself and said “just let me get a case” and she whined harder “im your mom, i dont count, i should be allowed to see them”
He put the cards back in the box and said, “you can look at them like this since you cant wait”. I had to excuse myself so I would not say anything rude. But seriously?
How do you be civil when shes always acting like a toddler?
