to think this was ungrateful and maybe a bit snobby?

[LifeIsButtercream]

I friend recently had a first birthday party for her DD, I have a limited budget but found a really gorgeous outfit from Asda which had a character on that my friend's DD is 'obsessed' with, and posted this over to them as a pressie.

I spoke to said friend a few days later, and she was blah blah about her DD's birthday and all the lovely clothes people had given her. She then went on to say that some people had only given clothes from Asda or Tesco, and these 'had to go straight in the bin', as her DD only wears clothes from 'Next, and above'.........

I was a bit hmph, and didn't mention the gift I'd sent, but made my excuses and left the conversation. I felt a bit grrrrr that not only had she chucked my gift away, but she hadn't even remembered what I'd given (it was a week ago) - call me mad but I make a note when DD opens presents so I can at least pretend I have written thank you cards and thank people.

Besides, Next and above? Do labels really matter at 1yr old?

Or am I on another planet?

I would ask for them back so you can "get something more appropriate" which obviously she will think means you will trot straight round to Next for her precious child. Then when she asks if you got something you can say "yes, I bought myself some new jeans" :o

Ungrateful cow!

Thats a good idea kidzrf what a spoilt ungrateful women, it seems to me that basic manners are going down the toilet. What is the point in buying expensive clothes when your manners are rubbish then

Shame you can't show her this thread.. give her a wake up call.
Was she a long term friend?
As I and others have said before - she is a rude, ungrateful bitch.

Please ask for the present back! I'd love to know what happens if you do.

ditch the bitch!

I would be very surprised if they ended up in the bin, they have more likely been exchanged for store credit and spent on wine or something for the bitch!

she is no friend, my kids clothes only come from asda, as i get alot of wear out of them.

i did get dd a next dress in a sale and tbh it didn't wash as well as asda clothes

Thrown away!
What a strange woman.
I'd understand if she didn't dress her child in it because she didn't like it, but why can't she just give it to a charity shop...keep it for dressing up (unless it was a baby and a literal first birthday, bit early for an obsession!)...weird!

I laughed at "next and above".
