[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every year for my mother's birthday, my son would help me choose a pair of earrings for her. This went on for about 10 or so years. When she retired, she put them in a box and mailed them all back to me. [/quote] Obviously she got tired of getting earrings every year. You could have put more thought into her gift. I personally like to pick my own jewelry. I wouldn't have sent it back to you of course (that's very rude) but you now get the point of why she did it.[/quote] Sometimes just a little bit of communication goes a long way. We can suppose what might be the reason but best bet is for PP to politely ASK. Maybe mother wanted daughter to have earrings since she is still working. Maybe PP has a daughter and mother thought granddaughter might like them. I can't imagine she'd take all her grandson's gifts and cavalierly "give them back" without a logical reason. Again, communication is key.[/quote]
