Actually I got in a struggle with my mom in law, because of her thinking I´d hate her. Gecause for her it was not understandable, that as a girl, my reaction upon her inviting me to do a shoppng tour and buying cloth with her actually paying, was always so negative. For her it was impossible to think, that I simply hated shopping, anyway if someone elses pays or not, so she insisted that I must hate spending time with her. XD
Poor boy. Even if he wanted to invite her to shopping, if he hates it so much, I´d simply given her a certain amount of money, he was willing to spend, and then let her go on her own, or waited relaxed in a café for her. As a child, my parents sometimes dropped me in a bookshop, when they did shopping tours, if I got to exhausted/overwhelmed. Time does not exist in bookshops for me. ^^
