[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there any way to make it stop?

They actually told me they “shopped local.” But the town they live in is so small that I doubted they could find this item in a local store.

The supposedly new item had no tags so I googled it and found it is a vintage item from the 90s from a European country they traveled to in the 90s.

They also gave two of us old notebooks. Last year, two of us received these large rayon scarves that you wrap all around your body.

I get it. The relative is cheap and [b]probably hates me.

They have plenty of money as they donated $10,000 to an organization no problem.

[b]I’m thinking about writing a letter to them about it. [/b]

What would you do? [/quote]

I've never written this on DCUM before but OP you need professional help to find out 1) why you care so much about that you have to post here); 2) that instead of just being grateful for a gift you have to find fault and LOOK it up on google (just donate); 3) that instead of being charitable you make this about yourself and thinks she "hates" you (??) 3) that you are actually thinking of writing a relative a LETTER about this! To what end?  Why do you have such a strong need to punish?  -- signed son of depression era parents who were hoarders.[/quote]

They are not depression era and grew up rich.

One old person was in the hospital and I was too far to visit because I’m with another old person who is giving me smelly gifts.

It’s funny if I think about it actually.

To answer your question, PP, maybe I do need therapy to understand why I hate liars. I’m mad they lied to me about buying the gift in town.

I’m burned out on eldercare, but there are no vacation days. I thought this would be vacation but it’s just been catering to the desires of a different old person.

Like, I can’t even drink out of a glass that is not red because it’s Christmas so I drank from the red glass as instructed.

Well, at least my therapist and I will have a good laugh about cheap liars who brag about donating large sums they inherited to various charities, and I will drop the rope on this relationship.

Thank you for the nudge to talk to my therapist about this. I can actually see the funny side of this, but I’m still not coming back to deal with this another year.
