Wow, your mom sounds like mine. Ungrateful unless you got her exactly what she wanted ... You probably should've talked with your sister beforehand-- maybe you two could've bought it together.

Your mother sounds so spoilt, jesus if I had 5 cent for every parent I know that acts like a child I'd be a millionaire... Sorry your mom's a bitch.

aww, thats terrible. silver is prettier anyway. I'd take it back and keep your money if she can't appreciate it.

On the subject of 31/urallosers and whether or not he was wrong or right- technically, he was, but not in the ways he seemed to mean. It's not that every girl is a gold or silver/platinum/etc., and will refuse to branch out, it's just that once you find a preference you generally like to stick with it. Or, if you're like my mother, who believes she doesn't look good in most golds (which is somewhat true), you'll want to stick with silvery tones for obvious reasons. Or maybe vice versa (but silver generally looks good on everybody, lulz). This works out even if you're the type to pair a certain type of jewelry with a certain look (oddly enough, this is my mother as well), or whatever, because you like variety. This even works out if you don't give a damn, because...well... you don't give a damn, so you don't really HAVE a preference and thus, as you have not found said preference because you do not have it at all, you will not want to stick with it. See how nicely that works out? In any case, despite the fact that your mother is obviously partially materialistic, and somewhat rude, you can't blame her for not really knowing what to say in a situation where she didn't quite like her gift as, to her, it didn't quite compare. Personally, if I were on the sidelines I would roll my eyes and make a biting remark at her expense, but in her shoes, meh. FYL indeed, however, as I kinda know what it's like to know that what you did, despite the thought put into it, didn't live up to the standards of someone as iconic (for better or for worse, as it were) as your mother. If only she had a little bit of tact, she could have said something like "oh! this will go wonderfully with my OTHER outfit! why didn't I think of that?" ... even if it was an outfit she almost never wore ... Meh. Maybe I'm way off base with my entire, rambling post, long though it was. I don't really care.

>:[ tch what an ungrateful mother! You spent your hard earned money on her and all she said was, "oh"? Geeze...

I would've snatched the silver bracelet right out of her greedy hands and told her that if she can't accept a gift graciously (from her own CHILD no less) then she doesn't deserve to get any at all. Yes, you and your sister probably should've combined forces on your mom's gift, but that's no excuse for her behavior. When are people going to realize that gifts are really just objects that don't mean anything?! It's the fact that someone was willing to go out of their way to get you ANYTHING that really matters. If someone got me socks for my birthday, I'd show some ******* gratitude and gush about how much I needed them. The person took the time to get me something, the least they deserve is a freaking 'thank you'.

First off, I think that you should have had more communication with your family members about what they were getting or combined forces. But, even if that was not possible it is just disgraceful that your mom disrespected your gift like that. I feel sorry you wasting your money on a gift for someone so selfish.

Your mom is an asshole.

That sucks she should just me grateful u thought of what she wanted and did ur best to give it to her

Whoever said YDI is an asshole. FYL because you're mother should've been more grateful. she must be a bitch. I am sorry that you have had to live with her through your childhood.
