Am I being a Sniveling Snowflake?

Question

My Fiance's Mum didn't Want my Table Top Snowman I had Sent her a Few Years Back, Out this Year, But it was Okay to Leave Out my White Owls (Another gift from last Year) by the Flowers I had sent (A week ago) for Christmas. Am I being Too Over-Sensitive? xx

Tbh, I’d also take it personally

No you are not

MrOracle · Answer

You are being oversensitive. She likely just wants to change things up. As a woman, you know damn well that you are prone to wanting exactly that from time to time (if not much more often than that!). Everything is NOT a personal attack on you - sometimes things are done for completely different reasons. Unless you have some significant reason to think this action was specifically to slight you - evidence that doesn't seem to exist - then in my opinion you need to let this go, and don't read into things so much.

This is when it's good to be a guy. We simply don't care. If I buy you a snowman and you don't set it out, I shrug and continue with my day. No drama.

Sometimes, people want to change their Christmas decorations and not do the same thing every year. She is still displaying some of your other gifts so this doesn't sound like a personal attack or a personal rejection.

Paris, gift giving is a gamble. They will like it, hate it, have a use for it or not. You got it for her with good intentions, and going by trying to read her likes. You can't read her mind, so you have to buy based on what you know and how she comes across. If she doesn't like it, hey you did your best.

In regards to your "D" button above... that's what she said.

Look its perfectly fine to be a little hurt and I don't think it was an attack on you or meant to hurt you or none of what she put out would have come from you. She may have simply overlooked it. She could be spreading the placemnts to balance out the load to include gifts from others. It could have been damaged in storage. If it makes you feel better I hear She has it put up because it's too important to her to risk having it damaged by a clumsy guest.

Yes mam , I believe you just might be in your feelings a little... she could have simply forgot or maaayyybbee just wanted another table topper.. again , that's a little minor to let consume ur thoughts. Try not to Expect things, u think should be a certain way... because ... EXPECTATIONS can lead to DISAPPOINTMENT!! 😉

hahahmm · Answer

Yes because you don't get to dictate another person's home decor. Maybe you chose poorly to give her that kind of gift without knowing her preferences.

Of course, anyone who has any issue with anything is a sniveling snowflake. If you don't toe the party line (the party being conservian (yes, I made that up but who cares?)) then it is all your fault, especially climate change which is made up.

Apulu_3 · Answer

Well to be honest you are somewhere in middle. Just don't mind it. It's her personal choice. Appreciate that she is using your gifts.

AviatorTom · Answer

Yes, you gave her a gift and she can choose to do whatever she wants with it. Her choice, not yours.

Wiredone · Answer

We don't put out all our decorations. We change it up every year. Maybe next year the owls will stay in the closet.

She is just a different type of mother than you are used to , very eccentric. I wouldn’t let her bother you

KatherineJ · Answer

Maybe she just wants to change things up this year?

OddBeMe · Answer

Firstly, why all the capital letters?  Second, she’s using two other gifts you gave her more recently? Yeah. Sounds flakey.

menina · Answer

That's strange Paris, but I think it's not a good reason for you to be bothered by it. At least she used something you sent her.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

Yes, you are. Lol. Sorry. She doesn't have to display the snowman if she doesn't want to.

emperor90 · Answer

yes and no maybe she wants something different it is her house

Anonymous · Answer

Yes you are, and you better watch out, you're going to melt once spring time comes.

Gwenhwyfar · Answer

I mean, at least she liked the owls

Curmudgeon · Answer

Is there enough room on the table?

exitseven · Answer

yes, the snowman is kind of lame.

douride2 · Answer

Could be she just wanted some change this year.
