All the bear fault

We had gone to West Mall Precious Thoughts to change for the clothes that I’ve bought for Sherry from Raffles City. At the shop, I was busy checking and thinking of what to exchange while the girl was looking around at all the bears sitting on the shelf with MIL overseeing her.
While I was at the counter making the exchange and some enquires, something caught my eye. MIL is paying for something. It was a bear that was in Sherry’s arms. I was too late to stop the transaction! I was fuming mad inside!
I asked MIL why you bought that bear for her. Her answer was that because she did not want to put it back! What an answer!!! RUBBISH!!! I trust that if you had told her nicely she will understand and just put back the bear. I had tried that for so many times when Sherry went shopping with me.
She does understand that shopping does not equate to buying thing. I was so angry and told MIL that she is really spoiling Sherry. So if she wanted the whole West Mall, will she buy that for her too?!! Yes, I know, that is too harsh and it’s a trivial matter but I do not wish that my daughter to grow up like a spoilt brat and throw tantrum when we do not want to get the stuff that she wanted!
In the night, before we went to bed, I just casually tell Hubby that sometimes he should tell his mum not to pamper Sherry in such a way. He still has the cheek to tell me, your mum also does the same. Wow, that’s it; he is adding oil to the fire man. I was damn pissed off and told him to give an example on the comment that he had just passed! His reply was how would he knows, may be she had done in his absence. I replied angrily, once a week pampering will not do more harm than everyday pampering, ok! And he will not believe if I would tell him that my mum had not been like this so far! So as usual, he just kept quiet, I carried on to say that if he does not mind his daughter to grow up and behaved like a spoilt brad then I have nothing to say! We just went to bed being angry with each other!!! ARRRRRHHHHHH!!!!
Let’s see how much Sherry played with that $20 bear!!! Still angry and upset!!!
