Hello house, please i need your help on this. My mother is a compulsive shopper. She has a closet full of outfits which still have tags on them, shoes she doesn't wear and dresses she's only worn once. For some reason, almost every time I speak to her, my mother is always expecting me to buy her some kind of clothing item. She'll ask me to look it up online and then tell me to buy it for her. Sometimes I buy the clothing for her but on most occasions I don't. I don't like my mother's buying attitude. She's used to my brother buying her whatever she wants and giving her money. In the past, my mother has complained that I don't give her enough money. She and my father have done well for themselves. They live in Maitama in Abuja. Their house has a private pool. My parents have more money than my husband and I as well as my brother. It's not like they are struggling so I don't think it's appropriate to keep asking for money and gifts like a spoiled child. My mother and I will never be close because she was loves to put me down. She also enjoys gossiping about me. It's pretty funny that she knows we are not close yet expects me to lavish her with gifts and money despite our distant relationship. It's like she lives in an alternate reality. My husband thinks my mother is an immature brat. His parents are poor and they never ask for anything. My father never demands money and gifts either. We're going overseas for a trip and my mother said "I hope you bring me something". I told her No straight away that I'm shopping for myself and my nephew. If you have a greedy mom, how do you handle her behavior?
