[quote=Anonymous]I am a woman in 40s and my parents age is close to 80s.
During my visit to my parents, my mother asked me (in the presence if my father) if I would like to take bangles that belonged to her. I was hesitant for a moment and then told her sure if she does not mind. She kept talking about those bangles through out but never gave them to me or shown them to me. Before leaving, I kind of reminded her if she would like to give the bangles to me. She immediately said those will be too small for me, so she would not bother about it.

I felt hurt about it. I am also upset that I reminded her and asked for the jewellery. I really hope this is not being materialistic.

She has given me some kitchen utensils that she is no longer using. I have accepted those. But I left all those behind because I was not comfortable taking anything.

When she realized that I did not take anything with me, she called DH and told him that I may have felt bad about the jewellery that she did not give. She also mentioned to him that those bangles may be too small for grand-daughter too. DH did not comment anything about it as he does not know the conversations between my parents and me.

Later on, I messaged my father asking why they would do that to their daughter while they treat their daughter-in-law much better than this.

I am not feeling good about the whole discussion with my parents.
Should I be apologizing to them? Should I refuse anything they offer in the future?
