my mother just bought me a $200 outfit. i didnt ask her to - i just needed church clothes for fall so she bought me the outfit. i love it and she's all excited about it and so I am. She says it is worth the $200 if I'll wear it a lot instead of spending $200 on a Homecoming Dress I'd only wear once (since I didnt go to my homecoming) and the outfit is gorgous!!!
so, what is the problem exactly? I wore it over to my grandmother's house to "model" it for her. She just sat there and nodded and then when my mom left to use the restroom she said "i dont know what you think you are doing but you do not deserve that outfit and i think it is hateful and rude of you to use your mother like that." and when my mom came back she told her, "i cant believe you spent that much on her. she's just using you. she'll wear it once and thats it"
i think that was totally inappropriate of her to say. i appriciate what my mom did for me. was my grandma out of place to say these things?

Your grandmother has issues. Possibly the onset of dementia.
This classic little outfit can be used as a foundation for a whole wardrobe... get other blouses, skirts and accessories to go with it. You can interview and get a nice little job in that. Your mom did right. Keep thanking her for this incredibly well thought-out gift and treasure it!

Maybe your grandma knows you better than us?
She may not know the full details behind this one dress and her comment could be more of a stab on you in general.
Take this as an opportunity to reflect on yourself; have you given your grandmother any reason to think this way of you?

Sounds to me like there is something else going on with you and your family that you're not telling us or indeed you yourself may not be aware of.
Either that or your grandmother is not a nice person. Only you would know the answer to that.
It may have been rude but there may be reasons behind her comments, who knows?

I would say yes she was. Perhaps you should tell your Mum how you feel about the striation and ask her why your grandmother thinks that. It is up to your Mum how much she spends on you not your grandmother.

she probably felt like she could say that stuff because she brought youre mum up and wouldnt have done that for her. it is kind of rude but its family so if you know her really well and she feels comfortable enough to be that rude then you two should have both been rude enough to say its none of her business if your mum wants to buy something for you. ignore her and enjoy your new clothes.

Your grandma could only have said those things if she knew you well. If you think she was being unfair to you you could prove her wrong. You seem to appreciate it though, which is the main thing.

yes it was very out of place for her! u should always be respectful to ur elders but u should tell ur mom wut she said to u and that it offended u and hurt ur feelings and that u really do appreciate it. ur grandmother was being dare i say the "hateful and rude" one here not u

i think it was inappropriate for your grandmother to say that... or for anyone to say that really.... sounds something like my grandmother would say... though she wouldn't say it to my mom or me but she would say it to one of her friends on the phone or to my sister.... either way that is rude to say something like that
