A close friend of my mums made my daughter some cupcakes for her birthday two weeks ago (I paid for the ingredients) and to say thank you, I bought her a card and a nice box of chocolates. My mum offered to drop them round yesterday as she was popping there for a cuppa. I've just received a message from the lady thanking me for the lovely card, chocolates and... flowers.
My mum has obviously bought the flowers and told her there from me. I know she means well but it's made me feel utterly shit, as if my little gift wasn't good enough. I won't say anything or fall out with her about it as it's such a trivial and petty annoyance in the grand scheme of things but she does have form for doing things like this especially at Christmas. It's as if no one else can buy a nice gift. Would this annoy you?
