It is amazing how self absorbed people can be - even Moms with their own kids! I remember as a young adult going with my mother so I could pick out a Christmas present. When I chose something she let out a big sigh and said "at least that's over with" I didn't have much so it was not like I was difficult to shop for! Thanks for your insight Reggio I would love to see your reaction as your mother accepts one of her gifts back from you! How can you keep a straight face?
