Some stupid gifts are not as important as showing someone understanding when they are going through a tough time. Chemo (to treat constant pain like RA), a leg injury, a depressed immune system, family members in an accident... those things deserve a little understanding in my opinion.
Would I be sad that I didn't get my gifts on time? Yes. However, I don't think ripping someone apart when they are going through a rough time and already feeling remorse is the best road to take.
What to you seems like excuses could be someone's real pain, and THEN how would you feel for picking at them? Karma certainly wouldn't smile upon you. |
Oh please, cry me a river and do it to the tune of violins. We all have problems and some of us are EVEN busier than this person is.
You are right that it is not about the dollar amount. But when someone capitalizes over and over on gifts they receive and they send a box of garbage in return all the while investing in embroidery software (which can cost several hundred to several thousand dollars by the way) and they stockpile fabrics to make dresses and barrettes and toys then they have the means (and possibly the talent) to do something better.
Perhaps you missed the part where she was going to a sewing expo because she wanted to and all the photos she put on FB. Her RA, chemo, floors refinished, daughter's car accident, depressed immune system and the whole host of other excuses did not stop her from doing those things that she wanted to do. But she could not put together a smile box for Juicy or a box for Remy.
Again
to your post.
