So I (19) have been dating my boyfriend (19) for a few months now and he's been buying me gifts without me asking for them or even when I say I don't want any, he tells me not to tell him what to do or how to manage his money (jokingly). His family is wealthy I assume from what he said to me and he said himself his parents don't mind and that it makes him happy. My parents have multiple times called me over to them to tell me how bad it is that he buys me things even though I have said to them I have told him not to buy me things that I don't mind it but he doesn't have to. They have just told me that it looks like I'm being /insert mean and rude names/ who's just getting money from him and similar insults. I don't understand what is their problem with being invested in my relationship(s) as they have never had any good impact on me, the relationships or my social life in general ever as I have struggled with depression and anxiety due to them being abusive and taking anger or stress out on me.
Not quite sure what to think about them acting like this towards me and him as I don't want him to feel or be disrespected..
(the gifts are Pokemon cards, plushies, he bought me older version of Apple Watch and let's me borrow his AirPods etc.. I never asked for any of this and in my last relationship before this one I was the one who showered my boyfriend with expensive gifts so it's not like I find boyfriends who are like this and my current one does it because it makes me tear up or even cry when he gifts me things because it means a lot to me.)
Should I try to talk it out with them or just let it be? I don't think they should act like that or judge me or my boyfriend like this. Any thoughts or advice on what I could do or if I should leave it be and ignore it?
Tldr: My parents are not happy that my boyfriend is buying me gifts
