[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I did text the mom because my DH and I both felt weird about accepting it - for context, we are not a high income family ourselves, we spent $125 total on birthday gifts for our own kid from both parents and siblings. So it's not me assuming they can't afford it because they speak Spanish, it's that we feel awkward about a school friend spending that much on our kid, and are not able to reciprocate at the same scale either. I felt horribly and painfully awkward bringing it up, she said "keep it, your son is a good friend to mine," and hopefully she doesn't feel as deeply embarrassed as I do by this interaction. Kid will write a nice thank you note and we will do our best to spring for stuff in future. [/quote] This turned out to be a nice story. Both mom's are great here. Your son is probably a great kid![/quote]
