I really hate how people judge affection based on how much money you spend on them. I was watching OLD episodes of The Office that I DVR-ed and one of them was a Christmas one. MIchael got Ryan in Secret Santa, with a $20 limit, and bought Ryan a $400 (then) iPod because he "loves Ryan $400 much". Michael's gift was a homemade oven mit, which he then criticized by saying "I'm only liked a homemade oven mit much". My mom is the same way. She mentioned, or actually nagged me, that she wanted me to burn her a CD of some 80's record. I looked on various torrent sites and download sites for the songs and couldn't find them. So I told her and she got all pissed and mad and threw me the line, "This is the only thing I really want this year." So then we found the album on eBay and she still kept nagging. I told her I'd try but I didn't really want to because it was PayPal only and I had a fraud through it last year. I ended up buying it last night for $15 after shipping. I don't know how she found out, but she did. Then I went to buy my stepmom Lisa's gift today, which was $50. My mom threw a shit fit about how cheap hers was verses how much Lisa's was.
I don't get how greedy people can be. I bought my mom the "one thing" she "really wanted" this year, while I bought Lisa a gift card to the Norstrom's Spa because I couldn't think of anything else.
