Mum now saying she doesn't want shoes that i've already bought

Back in october around the 10th i was staying at my parents to celebrate my mum's birthday. At that ocasion my dad took her to the mall and bought her a pair of shoes she really wanted. She tried on several pairs and picked the ones she liked the best and was very happy with her birthday gift. At the shop she said she'd really like to have another pair of shoes and i asked if she would like those for Xmas and she said yes. So i told her i'd be getting them for her and i even took a picture of them in order to make sure i'd buy the exact shoes for her at my own city when i had money.

When i got back to my city i bought the shoes in the end of october and was quite please because this meant i had sorted my main gift for her. Now, here comes the problem... in the last few days she's been saying she doesn't want the shoes anymore and that i shouldn't get them because she already has a lot of shoes, has nowhere to keep them, thinks they are very expensive and many other reasons why she no longer wishes the shoes. She is the nicest person i know and would never say she doesn't want the shoes anymore if she knew i'd already bought it.

I don't know what to do... I can't take the shoes back to the shop because it's been more than a month since i bought the pair and it would now be embarrasing to give it to her. I still think she wouls love the shoes and am really not sure why she is saying she doesn't want it anymore. They were quite expensive, are a good brand that doesn't hurt her feet and look adorable (and they match her stuff).

What do i do?

Fess up and see what she says

Just give them to her. She’s probably worried that she’s asked you to buy her something extravagant.

Stickerrocks · 12/12/2018 13:13

Have a word with your Dad, explain you have already bought them and ask for his advice. he may know if she is bluffing or would still really like them.

You might be able to take them back and get something else or a store credit instead of a refund. Would that be any good?

I’d give her the shoes. It’s not like she doesn’t like them, I think maybe she changed her mind as she thinks they are expensive or you’d have to go out of your way etc. Then I’d fess up I’d bought them ages ago so she doesn’t feel bad x

Exactly this.

Tell her you've already bought them. You dont really have a choice.

OneStepMoreFun · 12/12/2018 14:13

Just say, 'Too late and i know you love them.' She does love them and she'll wear them. She's probably just trying to save you money.

JemSynergy · 12/12/2018 14:14

I would still give them to her along with the receipt....she can take them back if she really decides she doesn't want them.

Inthetropics · 12/12/2018 15:48

Thanks you all! She can't take them back even worh the receipt as i bought it more than 30 days ago.

Reading the responses i've decided to just give it to her on Xmas day and explain i had already bought it. I agree she might be trying to save me money even though she knows i have a good budget for Xmas gifts and usually spend the same on my dad and her as i have very few people i give presents to. It will probably become a family joke and we'll be speaking about this for years!

We've just finished opening our Christmas presents and my mum LOVED her new shoes. She told me she was worried about how much they cost, so you were right! I showed her this thread and now it's become a family joke!
