Am I just expecting too much, or is he just self centered with poor manners?
We've been together nine months, so this is our first Christmas together. Since his mom kept asking what I wanted for Christmas I know she got me a gift (she got me a birthday gift too), so when he and I were out shopping I bought them a gift basket. My mom bought him a Michael kors tie since she knew I was exchanging with his parents, and he was spending Christmas Eve with us she wanted to have something for him. I made sure to causally mention weeks ago that she had a gift for him, so he knew about it, and also knew that I had something for his parents (which I will be giving him tomorrow since I am spending Christmas Day there and he spent Christmas Eve here). I figured between those two things and common sense and manners he would clue in to pick up some thing for my mom, even a cheap small box of chocolates, but no. Tonight he showed up empty handed and I was SO embarrassed and mad. It's not like he's holding off until tomorrow, I'm driving myself to his parents house, so he won't see my mom until possibly New Years. I haven't said anything but I'm really unimpressed that he didn't get her anything. In my opinion it's just bad manners when you are going to be a holiday guest in someone's home and you know they got you a gift to not come with even something small to give in return.
Am I in the right to be mad here, or should it not be expected of him to get something? Should I talk to him about it? It's not like he can do anything about it now
