Is this rude?

I've just finished putting together a present for a family member (let's call them A). I was asked to put together the present by B and C, who didn't want to get involved in preparing the present but asked me to do so.

I've just met up with B, who needed to add something to the present. I've worked really hard on the present, and their first comment when they saw it was that 'it looks shit'.

I also met up with B right next to their work, at their request, and at a time that suited them.

AIBU to think that this is quite rude and unfair of them to say? Even if B thinks the present is shit, would it not be kinder for them to keep that thought to themselves?

Great! Now that you're out of this particular situation with B, don't get into another one, even if she begs. The MN standard "Oh, no, that's not going to work for me." ought to help! Smile
