[quote=Anonymous]Should adults ask for presents? No. At least not in the way your mom does it. Your mom is acting like a spoiled little kid writing a list to Santa but worse because she’s not just hoping to receive these items in her list, she’s demanding it [i]or else[/i] she’ll be disappointed. In my family the adults do secret Santa where we each draw another adult’s name and get gifts for that one person. Each person shares a wishlist w the group so that whoever has their name can get some ideas but no one would get upset if the gift giver went off the list and did their own gift idea. In your case, I’d tell your mom how you feel and that you don’t understand why she expects/demands gifts from you even though she’s not gracious or kind about it, she doesn’t reciprocate, and she has more money than you do so she can buy herself these gifts anyway. Let it all out. Stop giving her gifts and tell her why.[/quote]
