Peter Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 My parents got me a flat screen monitor a couple of years ago for my birthday. At the time there was nothing I wanted less... I had a similar situation at the time, and didn't know whether or not to tell them I don't really like it or what... I thought it was a "waste" of a gift. But looking back that's a stupid thing to say. No one owed me a gift, and I should have been grateful for it. I got over it and now I'm actually kind of glad I have the monitor, it's much nicer... In your case, I would accept it (if it is indeed for you) and play with it a bit acting interested. Most people when they give gifts don't just buy the first thing they see at the store; they usually put some thought into it. Your job, as a receiver of gifts, is to acknowledge their time spent and be grateful for THAT, not the actual item in question. If you turn down the gift, there's a good chance your mom would get offended. At least your guilty feeling is better than her feeling offended. Try and think of it like that.

kelem_ryu Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Ok, so I was in my Mums wardrobe the other day looking for batteries, when I found ... i'll have to be honest, i didnt think you were gonna say you found a car... me to *shudders* :uhh: My mother some years ago started buying things for children of god knows whom. So it really might be for somebody else. If it really is for you, then just play around with that car. Might be fun. Might feel wierd though i guess. (At least i would feel wierd with it.) Just imagine you were a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak722 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 I don't get gifts anymore...

KCHughes Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 If it IS for you, you should show a lot of gratitude to your mom and thank her. Since she's going through a hard time, it would mean the world to her to know that she made her son happy. Just do it for her. It will make her feel great. But it might not be for you, so just wait and see. the russians are the best! Hands down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deloriagod Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Does anyone else get to the point where they feel guilty about their parentsgoing out and spending a lot of time and money on them, when there is really no need, when you have got to the age that christmas is no longer about recieving presents? Yep. I just got to that point this year. I could care less if I get anything for Christmas, the best gift is seeing everyone I love being happy. As for your situation.. That happened to me once. I just told my parents I wanted to take it back and get something I'd enjoy more and they were ok with it. Your parents want you to be happy so they won't be too upset if you want to exchange a gift.

Bufoman Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 just be honest and upfront about it, don't open a gift you dont like, it can always be exchanged by the buyer for cash. seriosly I take back about half my gifts each year and pocket the mony... well my situations a little diffrent than yours. if its one of those reely nice rc cars that go around 50 mph on a flat road trust me you will love it. I had one of those and loved it untill some scum took it and droped it from a tree. well seriosly honesty is the best policy, just get her a good gift and ask for cash, she will probaly understand. if she dosent she probaly will in a week or so... the decision rests with you however, I can only give advice.
