Today, for my mom's 50th birthday, all she wanted was a certain gold bracelet. It was too much money for me to buy, so I bought the same one in silver. Right before I gave it to her, my older sister gave her the gold bracelet, which made her cry. When I gave her my present, she just said, "Oh." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, was my mom's birthday. I recently got my first job, thanks to her, and could finally afford to buy her something nice. I spent my first paycheck ever on buying her a very nice bracelet. She said it was nice, then asked if I would mind if she exchanged it for one she actually liked. FML

Wow, what a bitch. She should have at least been grateful you spent your hard-earned money on pointless shit for her. You should have just taken it back from her if she is going to be so ungrateful.

I can't understand why you and your sister didn't "join forces" to get a gift. In any case, gifts are overrated and your mum outta know that the love and care that you gave with that gift is far more precious! Buying the most expensive gift does NOT indicate how much you love a person! Sorry! I think what you did was admirable. Chin up hey

That's not cool. Why didn't you and your sister buy things together like me and my two brothers do when we haven't got particularly big budgets?

Aw, well, it was sweet of you to try. Silver is way more attractive anyway. Gold reminds me of pirates - and not in the Johnny Depp way...
