Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : English not first language, mobile, all that jazz.


So, I started working with my dad for a few days (6 to be exact) and was getting paid by the work day ($100/day), I was about to get my pay for the past 2 days of work when my mom asks me if I could get a $100 outdoor table set for the house since we just got a barbecue, I, being the decent son I am, agree and let her get my pay herself since it would be simpler (my boss IS her husband after all), so she drops me off at home, grabs the money and heads off to walmart. When she comes back, we set up the table and chairs, and head inside. She says nothing about the rest of my money, which is a little strange, but I pay it no mind.

The next day, I wake up and notice she’s not home, not a problem, I’ve been taking care of my little sister for a year now so we pass the time until she comes back, when she does come back I greet her, hug her and go back to my room. After a while, she calls me to the living room, and says “Thank you for the gift!” I’m sort of confused by that and say “Oh, the table? It’s alright.” she then says “No, no, I’m talking about this!” as she points to her wrist, at an Apple Watch, I asked her “did Dad give it to you?” she answers “Oh, no! I just thought that, since it was with me already, there’s no problem! I just borrowed it.” I kind of give an awkward laugh and say something along the lines of “that’s cool” and scurried off to my room.

Today, she came to me asking for a $400 MacBook (she already owns a laptop and a desktop pcs) as I was leaving for work again, I didn’t flat out DENY her but wasn’t stoked about the idea either m (and I think she noticed), the thing that pissed me off the most is that I REALLY like medieval stuff and i was saving up to buy a dull arming sword, but she is adamant about me not getting it because I “don’t need it”, well, SHE doesn’t NEED a MacBook either!

TL:DR Mom took $100 from me unannounced, doesn’t want to let me spend my hard earned money the way I want because i “don’t need it” and wants me to buy her a $400 laptop she doesn’t need.
