Who has a mother who leaves

[Anonymous]

the price tag on gifts even though you know that she paid nowhere near the full price. Or is this just my mother? It’s so obnoxious.

She probably assumes you are returning it so she leaves the tag on.

I always hated leaving tags on gifts but now that I'm getting forgetful and often do past minute shopping, its not a guarantee that I would remember and bother. I don't wrap either, just throw gifts in gift bags. Don't do cards either.

This^. Nobody got time and nobody is trying to fool anyone, prices and discounts are common knowledge thanks to internet.

I don’t care. My parents do this sometimes because they’ve somewhat forgetful with age. It’s not like the price of a Jo Malone perfume is some state secret.

At the very least I thought it was going to be a fun thread about mothers storming out of Christmas pageants or Thanksgiving dinner for some crazy reason or other. Not.....price tags. What a buzzkill.

My mother used to make the effort to peel off the sticker or obscure the price, but it was a hassle, looked bad, and everyone knows the "retail" price on the tag is a joke. Like anyone has ever actually spent $44 for a children's pajama set at Kohl's. We know that price was just made up.

Same here.

Your mother doesn't have great manners. But you knew that.
