This mother-in-law’s ingratitude really gave people the needle and it’s an all-time jaw-dropper
This letter to agony column ‘Dear Prudence’ is an object lesson in being unappreciative.
It’s from a mother-in-law who wasn’t happy what her son’s wife did with the present she gave her.
And no matter where you think it’s going to go, it goes further …
The incident appears to have soured relationships within the family.
The letter was spotted by writer Nicole Cliffe, who said: ‘This bitch. NEXT LEVEL.’
We can’t argue with that, and neither could these people.
SHE WAS SHOWING YOU HOW MUCH SHE APPRECIATED THE GIFT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU https://t.co/OtFL46tBSm

Jesus I can’t stop thing about this idiot. If she bought them a turkey and her d.i.l. cooked it would she not eat it because it’s “stingy”?

Jesus Christ, this lady has no idea how long it takes to knit or crochet a blanket of that size, and how much time, effort, and care her DiL must have put into that thing.

I had to read this twice bc I assumed the problem was, “I intended this gift to be for HER and she used it to make something for ME and I feel sort of guilty, should I change something I’m doing?”

If someone gave me a HANDMADE bedspread personally crafted by them out of high quality yarn, I would be so overwhelmed with gratitude that I would cry.
What the FUCK.

lmfao EVEN OUTSIDE the “time/effort/expertise is of value too” aspect i think it’s cute she thinks $100 would be enough to pay for an entire bedspread’s worth of yarn at a local yarn store.
