Why are parents so prideful?
My siblings are coming for a visit. It's a Jewish holiday. So my mom was gonna make a more typical Jewish meal for all of us this weekend.
When we discussed it like two or three weeks ago, we said maybe she'd do Jewish style braised/roasted brisket. Parents said they'd only do it if the price of brisket wasn't too bad.
I told them I will split it minimum two ways with them or more so they're comfortable getting it for this occasion.
Yesterday I talk to them and they tell me they're making some other dish.
They went to the grocery store and it was 12.99/lb for a 3-4 lb brisket.
My dad says as soon as he heard that he told the butcher "no thanks".
I'm like, I offered to pay for at least half and I would've just footed the whole thing no big deal, I can afford to.
And my parents who insist all the time they're not cheap literally acted cheap and on top of that wouldn't take my offer.
