OK, so my mother just came to visit my kids for Christmas as she won't be here on the actual day and she gave me a present. She has previously asked me what I wanted and I said money as I'm building a car and need as much as I can as blowers aren't cheap. Anyway, she hands me this gift, I was thinking, that's either a really large cars or it's not what I want. I opened it anyway hoping it was a large card. Turns out it was some sign to put in my "man cave" that I don't have. So, I Gabe it back to her and told her that I don't want it and she can return it. My wife gets angry as she thinks I was rude. But, I don't see any problem in what I done. I would rather her take it back than me using it as kindling. Let me know your thoughts below.
My opinion.. Is that you OP is extremely ungrateful. It was a gift from your mother, and you tell her to return it?like seriously? A kid who received an onion for christmas was much more grateful than you. I would have slapped you for being selfish.
I don't see a problem with it. At least that way, she gets her money back. If I kept it, she would be out of pocket.
How is that having no respect. At least I told her so she could take it back and get her money back. No point in having something that's useless. There wasn't a nicer way for me to tell her that I don't like it. Were you not taught honesty as a child?
A gift from a loved one usually has more value in and of itself P.s if you were are 100% honest your whole life and never told a lie...that is a lie ?
You think christmas gifts are about money? Your mom took at least her time to even buy presents for you. Do you not know how many parents cannot afford gifts for their child? You didnt even have be ungrateful about it, you could keep it and say thank you, but no, just because you did not get what you wanted.
My mom gave me a bird for my birthday though I didn't ask for it or want it due to having a cat and dog already. I excepted the gift out of love and respect to my mother. That lil unwanted gift that you gave back mister selfish may be the last gift your mother may ever be able to give you for the rest of your life. Family here today may be gone tomorrow! Also its not the gift that matters its the thought be glad ur mother still buys you gifts for any reason. #ungreatfulson
I remember I got this weird looking art thing from my mama one yr cause she thought it was cute ? but it hangs in the living room cause she bought it for me it's the thought that counts!!
you do realize the gift value come from the intention amd thought of the giver and not its.monetary value,stop being greedy and ungrateful ******
I don't care about its monetary value. It's something that's useless to me and will never get used. So, instead of me throwing it out, I told her she can take it back or she can gift it to someone else for all I care. I don't expect anything from her. I have never really liked her since she kicked me out of home when I was 16 and I've had to do everything myself. Only when I had kids has she wanted something to do with me. So, less I have from her the better IMO
Wow. That's horrible. Your mom bought you a gift and you straight out tell her to return it. I feel bad for her.
You ungrateful child, your mum buys you a gift and you throw it back to her saying you can return it, and you think you weren't rude you worse than just rude, she has done so much bringing you and since you building up your car guess what spend your own bloody money you ungrateful pig !!!!! She made and effort what did you do ....
There should be a reason why you got kicked out in the first place. And if you dont even like her, why did you even bother asking for money? Seriously? Thats just messed up. You dont like her, but ask for money anyways. Even she kicked you out, she still asked you what you wanted, and still gave you a gift. It still comes the same. Youre still ungrateful.
