[quote=Anonymous]Agree with everyone above. Cancel your present, and buy like, a teether and burp cloths or something. Not sure about attending - she and her fam were so unbelievably rude about your generous present, that I have trouble believing they’ll be gracious to you at the event. Might not be fun.

At first I thought the people saying “Friendship OVER!” were being dramatic, but functionally, it’s kind of true. This experience teaches you that you all are not on the same page about how you think about “kid stuff”. She will hate-attend your birthday parties for your kid and roll her eyes w other people about how extravagant you were; you will hold back on sharing about your vacations or activities, and it will come across as condescending or pitying.

Cancel your original present and buy a more modest one. They don’t get to complain so horribly to you and then say “That’s not the point!” when you offer to cancel just because they want to keep the monetary value of your present. And then you definitely would be upstaging them.

Or, don’t cancel the present but don’t go and never talk to her again.[/quote]
