She said the gifts given to her daughter are cheap! the nerve!

Hi. chiyosan. I am not sure if I can understand whom the gifts were actually for. I can see now that it is for her daughter. Whatever the case may be, she should not be so nasty about the gifts. She should at least appreciate the thought of kindness behind the gifts that were given. This was very rude of her to say! If I don't like the gift, I would not have said something so unkind like she has. She is very mean! Besides the gifts are for her daughter and not her anyway. Even if her daughter, is too young to speak up, that does not mean that she should be express how she feels about the gift. It is how her daughter feels about the gift in the first place and not her!

Wow, all I have to say is she was being really rude and tactless. Talk about being ungrateful. And your brother's mother and sister has a right to be mad at her. They obviously put some thought and consideration into their gifts and to have some comment like that thrown at them is like a slap to the face. I don't want to sound mean or anything but your boyfriend's sister-in-law is sounding like a horrid person. All I can say is that even if she didn't like the gifts she should have just kept it to herself and thanked them anyway. After all, it's the thought that counts right?

A gift is a gift. I can like or dislike what was given me but I would still appreciate it because the gift giver bothered to give me something. And all I would have to say is "Thank You."

Your post reminds me of a gift that I got years ago from my Uncle's new wife. It was a blouse that was quite frilly and I am not a frilly kind of person. I thanked her profusely for the gift because I knew that her heart was in the right place. I tucked the blouse in my drawer and wore it almost every time that we saw her. I wanted her to know that I was pleased that she had taken the time to pick out something that she thought that I would liek. I find it extremely rude for a person to criticize a gift that is given. It truly is the thought that counts

A gift is given of the heart. The expense of the gift is not the important part. it is the thought behind the gift that is truly the treasure. no gift is cheap if it is given with love.

How I'm sorry to the gift giver. For me, you should always say "thank you" to the person who gives you something. It's their appreciation and thoughtfulness. Sometimes, not all of us have same taste of style and interests. If ever you receive gift that you do not appreciate, just keep it in yourself and should not mention how bad the gift is. Say thank you and be thankful enough that they remembered to give you something. And saying thank you is what the person wants to received in return.

I think this lady has a big problem with her relationship with her in laws. I don't know what could have triggered her to be that rude but it would definitely come out of anger. I hope she would be more careful with her words and actions because saying nasty things like that doesn't really do anyone any good.

That's just rude. If I didn't like something, I would quietly exchange it for something I did like, but I wouldn't straight out tell people something like that.

Hi Chiyosan!. I think your future sister in law quite rude telling others how cheap the present is. I think we had to respect the value of the attention. I think your BF mothers not rich so she must struggling before giving it. Someone usually give the present that I don't like it either but I wear it once to the occasion that I know I will meet the giver. So they will pleased I wear the present after thats its can go to the corner of my drawer.

What a shameful person! How does her parents raised her? Undergraduate students have much better values than she has! How did your bf's brother ever loved such woman with that attitude? Disrespecting her mom and her sister? She should be shamed of herself (if she EVER realizes it and if ever she has a conscience). Anyway, we all do experience that sometimes, recieving gifts that we don't like. I even experienced that sometimes too but I don't mind whether the gift is cheap or not quite exquisite. What matters most to me is the sincerity of the person giving it (which comes from her/his heart), how well the person makes me valuable in his life, and how he/she shows me that he appreciates me as his friend. I even kept ALL the gifts that was given to me by my friends since I was young (really! I kept it by box with their names & letters on it). Maybe that's why I've recieved a dozens of gifts every birthday, christmas, new year, or valentines day coz they know that they're gifts wouldn't be wasted at all. Gifts are our TREASURES from our loved ones, it DOESN'T and SHOULDN'T matter if it's expensive or cheap, or, ugly or cute, as long as it was given from the HEART of your loved ones, and if you'll realized that, you'll feel that "material gifts" are not really the gifts but the ESSENCE itself which makes it a PRICELESS GIFT that nothing can ever match its value! ^_^

wow! how could she be so inconsiderate, air headed and really cruel. she should be thankful that someone loves her daughter. if she serious when he texted your bf? if she was, then there something wrong with her attitude. she should sick a doctor or better yet a psychiatrist or psychologist to correct her behavior. she will be taught on how to deal and treat people in your surroundings. i suggest you, to lengthen your patience, be broad minded to understand that in our world, there exists people who will test us, annoy us, and angry us. but at the end of the road, they will also the one who will teach us how to control our anger, patience and emotion. :)
