[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This year, for my bday she asked what I wanted, I sent her three links and she got three items, only one of which was what I requested. [/quote]

you don't get to "request" your birthday gifts.  a gift is just that.  something given.  Yes its nice that she asks what you'd like and you go out of your way to provide her some ideas about what you'd like,  but she is under no gift giving obligation to acquiesce to your desires.

if she has indeed been doing this your entire life.  when are YOU going learn that she's going to do her own thing anyway?  You've gotten bent out of shape over "your mom not listening"  when in fact,  you keep expecting a zebra to suddenly change its stripes.  Quit banging your head against the wall.

next time she asks what you want.  tell her

"Mom, i have told you what i want for my birthday/christmas/ect every year for the last 30 years.  Every year you've surprised me with something I never thought I'd ever want/need.  This year you are on your own"

And if she gives you something you don't want, return it, or donate it.[/quote]
