My mother took me shopping after school 3 days ago, and I thought it was just for fun. She ended up spending $160 on me, plus going out to dinner, and I was thinking, what a nice thing to do since my dad refuses to spend any money on much-needed winter clothing. But afterwards, over the phone, she tells me that was supposed to me my birthday gift (my birthday is in about 5 days) She usually gives me $100 as a B-Day gift, and I wish she had told me beforehand, because I would have rather spent the money on things other than clothing. Do you think this was fair of her?

I don't think so, it seems like she was trying to kill two birds with one stone: buying you winter clothes bc she knew you needed 'em and giving you a birthday present at the same time. So no it's not fair.

Spending $160 and extra on meals
is like wow, take it early thats ok.
Like who's got 160 and more just for fun.
Plus she went behind your daddy to do it!!!
Besides why all the counting and adding up of things?
I bet you dont do that much adding in school.
I thinking your mommy was super nice. Plus she made a nice surprise for you. Now she has to deal with daddy. Remember daddy refused to spend. Plus you just said you need clothing winter stuff, now you rather not spend on clothing - which is it. Anyhow your mommy was super nice, and just think most likely you will get your much needed winter clothing over and above your pre birthday
then most likely christmas things too. Now tell mommy how such a nice surprise it was, and you appreciate her.

Yes it was fair you said you had a enjoyable day. She spent more than she would normally give and you had a lovely dinner.Now you said you needed some much needed winter clothes now you have them. You said if she had given you the money you wouldnt have purchased any clothes so you would rather spend the money on things you didnt need. You need to grow up you needed the clothes.

Grow up child. Your parents work hard for that money, and spent more on you than apparently you deserved. Instead of being grateful, you cry fairness...
Where is the fairness, and gratitude that your parents deserve...,
Sounds like a teenage soap opera, "The Trials and Tribulations of Teenage Wisdom"..., pun intended

It was very fair. She could not of given you anything and not spent one penny on you. Be thankful that you have a mother that cares about you and makes sure you have the basic necessities of life.

You needed the clothes and as you said, you would have spent it on other things. Be appreciative of what she has done for you.

life is never fair. if it's fair you and me would not be here today so we should learn to accept and appreciate life. you should still be thankful and blessed with your mom that are still willing to spend on you cause lots of people other there don't have such taste of it let alone getting money from their parents.
