Today, I received the 'special' present my mother had sent me for my 21st birthday. I opened the box and saw that my mother had picked out, accessorized and shipped to me, in college, a doll. FML

Break it open and see if there's money inside. No, but you should keep it, it's a gift from your mom and it's special to her. Keep it in a box in your closet, but when she comes over, put it up on your dresser.

Don't worry, at first I assumed she meant a blowup sex doll.

Just because you're 21 doesn't mean everyone is supposed to suddenly buy you booze. Your mother wanted to get you something special, and she did. Did she customize the doll specifically for YOU? Like, is the doll wearing your school colors, or your favorite colors, or anything else that pertains to you? If my mother went out of her way to do something creative like this for me, I would be GRATEFUL and thankful that there is someone in my life who thinks of me enough to do something nice for me. Maybe it's not a bottle of booze, and maybe it's not a card with cash or a gift card inside of it, and maybe it's not something materialistic. It's a gift that came straight from the heart, and I hope your mother reads this so she can realize that she has such an unappreciative daughter.

I agree with you all. I'm 23, but I still love dolls. I know it's a little dorky, but it's a sentimental thing. When I was 11, we moved to a big city, left behind all of our friends, and I was diagnosed with a not fun medical condition. I had an Esmerelda (from Hunchback of Notre Dame) Barbie that meant the world to me because she came with me through it all. I wish I still had her.

I used to have that Barbie! She was my favorite because she had bendable legs, and most of my other Barbies didn't.

omg i had her too!!! n she was so pretty n her clothes were gorgeous..i think a doll is quite precious...sure you wont b playing 'house' with it but it has a lot of sentimental value...i agree with alot of ppl...dont be materialistic and unappreciative..she didnt need to get u anything...but u probably expected her to send u a sex toy or booze now tht ur 'all grown up'...get over it!!!!

Is it a collector's doll? You never outgrow those imo. I still have some old dolls that are over 100yrs old on display in a curio cabinet of mine. They were my great grandmother's. Your mom doesn't expect you to play with the doll. Just set it up on top of a shelf or something as a keepsake.

I couldn't have put it any better #18.Grow up op,sure it's not money or alcohol,but it's a personal gift from your mother that she put thought and time into. Booze gets drank,money gets spent and wasted over time,but a sentimental gift like that from your own mother lasts for a very long time. I hope you realise how much of a shallow,ungrateful person you are.

Yea and it could be a joke. When my sister turned 21 I bought her a singing Hannah Montana birthday card and a pink plastic tiara. It was funny and you, OP, should get a sense of humor.
