[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP. I couldn't give a crap about the stuff I get or don't get.  At least for me, if I am going to be treated as second rate, I feel I at least deserve greater honesty about it.

[b]What hurts is that this is being done by someone who looks at gifts as a statement of love... getting less is about meaning less, and that stings.[/b]

There's not a thing you can do because your mom has moved on from counting you first.

Exactly! She’s asking OP to help her select MORE thoughtful gifts she can give the others to go with the other presents, and meanwhile, she’s grabbing OP a gift card at the register like an afterthought. She’s clearly not putting the same amount of THOUGHT (not money, do you see?) into what she gets her own daughter. How many people do you think she consulted before selecting a Visa gift card?

It’s not about the monetary value at all. It’s about how little the mom is thinking about what unique gifts would please her own child, but rather, what things to get the others.

Why is this hard to understand?[/quote]
