my mother is unbelievable :(

[kittylettekissingsanta]

ive just told her that ive gotten her xmas pressie from 'oxfam unwrapped.com' and that her present will provide 100 children with a school meal and will provide 25 people with clean drinking water,

to which she replied 'what im not getting a present??'

and then preceded to moan and shout and declare that shes taking my digital cameara back to the shop, cause im not getting her anything

this woman lives in a 6 bed detattched house, she'll have a fantastic xmas, and shes pissed off because 'some african kids have taken her presents'

im actully crying - how can she be so selfish?? its all about money to her

and now i feel like a n*b, and will be too embarresed to hand out my oxfam-gifts

and havent got the money to re-buy

of course

The one thing I am sure about from what you have said, is that your mother has overreacted, and that you shouldn't buy her anything else.

Make sure that you hand over the present, as hermykne said, in front of her friends. Either get a video camera on her for her reaction, or take a photo with the new digital camera straight away.

That should jolly things along and make you both see the funny side.
