she didnt like the top i bought for her ds for his b'day. i just asked her if it had fited ok and she made a face and i said oh no didnt it fit then? and she siad oh no its not that. i didnt like it sorry i've given it away.
now i have been brought up to be grateful for what you receive and to say thank you and smile and say how lovely so as not to hurt the givers feelings. and she has hurt my feelings actually and i feel really pissed off. more of a rant really rather than an AIBU as i am pretty sure i'm not BU at all actually!

Hmmm not sure. Yes I think you should be polite and say yes thank you lovely...but I also would hope that my family could be honest with me and say ooh didn't like that sorry. I don't think she was being rude in truth just honest.
Wasn't very nice of her to give it away at the very least she should have told you at the time and if she wasn't able to go to the shop asked you to exchange it for her.

I love Paul Frank
my parents bought DS a really cool t shirt from there as a present when I had DD. He adores it.
she could have lied, she could have smiled and said thank you, she chose to be rude and upset you. depends if you can tell her she hurt your feelings without world war III breaking out!

Paul Frank is very expensive! I have some Paul Frank pj's that cost £90 (more money than sense Im afraid), so Id have been upset too.
However, saying that, I would have been pi**ed off, even if the top cost £5 from a market (not that theirs anything wrongwith market clothes - have some myself). Why didnt she ask you for the reciept? Or even where you got it? How insensitive and rude, so is it just money next year?

I think we need to see the top if you can describe it as 'lairy', personally if I was boguht something I didnt like for one of my DC's it would be worn only in the company of the buyer.
I did sell some of DS andDD's presents on ebay that they got from family they never see though, partly because they were shite, partly because they already had very similar stuff and partly because they werent age appropriate, the money was then given to DC's though to buy things they wanted, and we have actually sold what we bought DD for xmas too as she decided she didnt want it quite as much as she thought!
