[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t an audition or a game show called Guess What I Want. If there’s something specific she wants, she needs to tell you exactly what it is. In theory you did still owe her a gift, but the flowers were a nice present. Your parents seems like…a lot. [/quote] More than a lot. That’s personality disorder territory. [/quote] OP, are you an only child? You might want to read up a bit on daughters of narcissistic mothers and/or watch Dr. Ramani vids on YT. Very enlightening. Your mom has set this up as a game you can't win, where your generosity is flipped to make her a victim. I'd consider no gifts or just gift cards going forward and if she objects to gift cards, no presents. However often you see or are in contact with them, I'd dial it back. Are you married? Do you have kids? [/quote]
