Today, I found out that my mother intentionally donated the quilt that I had made for her, because, "It didn't match anything". That was $70 worth of fabric and 7 and a half weeks spent on that handiwork of mine. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered my step mom had thrown out my baby blanket because it was an "eyesore". It was an heirloom from my birth mother and the only thing I have left from her. FML

Today, I finally gave my mum an expensive designer dress I spent months saving to buy for her as she had been very depressed. However she has gained so much weight from stress eating she ripped it when trying to put it on, and now won't talk to me because, "I wanted to make her feel fat". FML
Today, I accidentally washed the jacket my mother bought me in the washing machine. I didn't know it was supposed to be dry cleaned. My mother ended up crying and screaming that I don't love her, and this would be the last time she ever buys me anything. FML
Today, my grandmother patched up my $300, vintage, limited edition, designer jeans because she thought I'd accidentally ripped them. FML

I tried to find some kind of an upside to this. There isn't one. So sorry that happened :/.

Don't ever buy her a Christmas gift, then.

Remind me to give my mom a gift card instead.

My mum has made me two quilts and I will treasure them and had them down. Hopefully they will become someone elses family legacy and they will think about the mystery person that put together this beautiful quilt.

Some people are sentimental, others are not... you've unfortunately just learned which way your mother falls on that spectrum, OP.

What a horrible person. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

At the very least she could have offered it back to you.

My mother did the same thing to me except with homemade chocolates that I had made as a Christmas gift. She flat refused to have even a small taste and lied saying her doctor told her she can't have chocolate and then immediately went on to have all kinds of chocolate cake and other chocolate treats that same day. She never understood why I never got her anything except simple cheap stuff as gifts after that.

Some parents have no idea what is important. Sorry that your mom didn't see the priceless treasure she had in the gift you made her. All she saw was that it didn't match what she had in the house. Such a shame

Your mother is a narcissistic bitch. #SorryNotSorry I would never, ever get her a gift for any other occasion again and, as someone who is also both a quilter and the child of a narcissistic mother, I might consider the silent treatment for a little while.
