[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I purchased a gift for my mom’s birthday at the end of November. The gift was something she’d talked about, and was for one of her hobbies. She accepted the gift graciously then texted a few hours later to say it wasn’t quite what she wanted and I can return it while she’s away traveling for the next 3 weeks. Fast forward one month later - after Christmas - my dad calls to ask if I’m planning to buy my mom a different birthday gift to replace the gift that was returned. He said she’s still waiting for her gift and feeling forgotten. I can buy another gift… but now this just feels awkward. Is this normal? Do people buy replacement gifts? I grew up with this behavior around gift giving with parents and it caused a lot of anxiety for me. Looking for objective advice - Did I drop the ball here? [/quote] Nope. She gave the gift back. She wasn't forgotten. Tell her you didn't want to take a second gift back and she's rude.[/quote]
