[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t say anything.  BUT, giving someone a used water bottle as a gift is gross. I highly doubt he rinsed it out before giving it to her, if it were in fact new. [/quote]

Maybe  it was new but it was a "return" at the store and he did not open it and checked.

So, I would tell my DD to let him know so this can be returned at the store.

Maybe DD can tell him gently and privately -  that they should not exchange gifts in the future.

I disagree that your DD should keep her mouth shut. Why should she be a doormat and passive in her relationship? What a stupid advice.

Agreed. She can be discrete and kind but she shouldn't accept this gift.[/quote]

Refusing the gift is not kind.

OP said her DD doesn’t care. Why not respect the girl’s view of the matter? Why impose your own?

Waaay too involved.

A young woman needs the involvement and guidance of her family (as does a young man) so that she can develop her voice.  Otherwise an outsider will groom her in being subservient and a victim.   Some boy gives her a used, unwashed bottle as her birthday gift and you tell her to go with it?  I am sorry.  Just no.   She does not have to take that gift from him.  Don't raise her to be a simp.

You are SO gullible.   Talking about a voice and subservience and victimhood!.   FFS the daughter did not run to her mother to open up a water bottle to show her.   Unbelievable.  [/quote]
