My dad is here at my house and we are staying here until my OB appt. Anyways, he had a bunch of Amex rewards points that he has asked her for months to find something and buy and she never did, so he asked me to. So I went and bought a $250 linens and things gift card, and also a couple of little things. So I call to tell her and all she does is complain. She says well we dont really need linens, and boy I dont know what else I could get, it seems like such a waste. HELLO?! She always complains that they dont have stuff for the house and this and that and now she is complaining?! Why???! How is free $250 ever a waste? I am so annoyed. Would you complain about a free gift card?

I would have done just as you did,and her complaining was uncalled for, I mean he did tell her to use them. gift cards are great and $250.00 is a good one, just enjoy yoyr linens and when you sleep on them you can say haha.

She should have done it and then she would not have anything to complain about, but I would never complain about free money, even to an expensive store!!

Her?? Your mom? I wouldn’t complain- But why didn’t she just choose what she wanted- so your dad didn’t have to get you involved. A free gift card is a great thing- I love Linens and Things- It’s such a great store- a bit expensive- but they run great sales- I’d take the card for your mom- (you) and then she won’t complain! Go buy some new stuff for the kids rooms-
