What would you do

[Pixxie7]

A friend recently fell out with her daughter, not the first time. Despite this my friend sent her some loverly presents and her daughter texted her to say how much she loved them.
She didn’t expect anything or particularly want anything back, however today her daughter transferred some money into her account. This has really upset her as she would rather had been given nothing or a box of chocolates, as her gift was sent in the spirit it was meant not as a you bought me so I will buy you.
How would you deal with this?

I don’t get it. Are you the friend??
If not why would you do anything??

Does she think the daughter was paying for the gifts?

Maybe the money was a belated Christmas present?

You can see why they fell out if your friend is this awkward about everything.

If it were my friend, I would keep out of her relationship with her daughter tbh.

No I am not the friend but she has asked for my advice. Yes i think that it was meant as a belated Christmas present but why the delay?

The friend should text the DD to say thank you for the unexpected gift of money.

And suggest that what she'd like most to do with it is treat them to afternoon tea or something together.

The relationship needs mending. They clearly still care about each other! X

I'm not sure why my phone felt the need to add a kiss 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

Just stay out of it. It’s obviously a strained relationship if they keep falling out.

Why is my friend be awkward?

What itsgettingweird said... Without the kisses of course

Maybe daughter wasn’t expecting a present from her mum, so when she received one, felt guilty, and hence the belated money transfer.

Great suggestion from itsgettingweird.

Riverlee@ I think that is exactly my friends thought hence why she is upset, from what I can gather her daughter has a lot of mental health issues and her way with dealing with things is to stop talking to people. From my friends perspective she just tends to carry on as normal regardless of what is going on, she always acknowledges her birthday and Christmas knowing that given time her daughter will go back as if nothing has happened.
