[quote=Anonymous][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]
The gift was from my son, ages 5-15. I got her something else. She could have thrown it away.  The rule, in general is that you aren't a dick about gifts. Especially don't be a dick about gifts from children. Now you know.[/quote]

You didn't answer another question posed, which is did you ASK your mother why she sent them back?

The fact she kept them all those years, packaged them up and sent them to you show they meant something to her.  If your mother is such a "dick" she would have easily thrown them all out. [/quote]
