How Rude! I felt so bad.

[sparks19]

Today a work a lady came in with three of her kids. Their ages ranged approx. 7-12.... just a guess. Two boys and a girl (the girl was the oldest).... Anyway, they wanted to make bracelets and the two boys wanted to make bracelets for their little neices. They were very sweet boys and did a fantastic job designing the little bracelets and even had their neices names in the bracelets. they were very excited about what they had made and they really did do a wonderful job... they were beautiful little bracelets. Their neices were around 1 and 3 years old I believe.

anyway about two hours later the mother returned with the bracelets and said in a very disappointed sounding voice "can I return these bracelets?" I said yes but asked if there was anything wrong that I could help with. She responded with "My daughter in law didn't want them" WHAT?!!!!!

She said that her DIL said the girls were too small to have the bracelets and they would swallow the parts (even though the parts don't come off) and told her she didn't want them and to take them back to where ever they made them.

that is so awful.... I understand that you probably wouldn't put a bracelet on a 1 year old or maybe even a 3 year old but there is NO reason she couldn't have kept them as a keepsake for those girls. those little boys worked very hard on those bracelets and were very proud of themselves and she said right in front of them that she did not want them and take them back.

To me that is just RUDE. The mother was pretty upset I could tell but she was trying hard not to lose her cool in front of her kids. I felt so bad for those poor boys and that mother must have been so embarassed.

I can just imagine how excited the boys were... and then how crushed they must have been. The sister in law will learn that in life sometimes you have to throw sensibility to the wind and embrace a joyous moment.

I'm betting the sister in law wouldn't ever let her girls play dress up because they might hurt themselves on mommy's shoes

OMG! that is awful!! that just breaks my heart! .....to me that is the reason why some people stop being giving and nice when they get older because of things like that

[Alysser]

That is really RUDE! I would have been steaming...how embarrasing for the poor boys and mother. The SIL could have kept the bracelets until they were old ENOUGH!! GEEZ, what a heartless women. Some people are real peices of work.

[Catty1]

Oh no...I wish the boys could have kept them as keepsakes of their loving and hard work.

That SIL - confuses her Prep H with sunblock and disappears on a sunny day....JMO.....

It really is sad.... they were such sweet and polite boys too. I mean even if the bracelets were absolutely hideous (which they weren't.... they were beautiful) there is NO excuse to turn down a gift that was hand made by those little boys out of the goodness of their hearts. Poor kids.

[critter crazy]

Awww....that is so mean!!! I have so many bracelets and stuff made by my Nieces, I could never turn something down like that!! That woman needs to get her head out of her A$$!!

I would have jammed the bloody beads down her throat !!!!
Wom

[chocolatepuppy]

Some people are heartless.

[shais_mom]

poor boys -
what a WITCH!

[Hellow]

I would have said for her to keep them because thoes boys worked so hard on them and the least she could have done is keep them. Some people are just cold hearted. Do you have the persons e-mail adress because i want to send them a message...

[AdoreMyDogs]

I have a hard time understanding how people could be so insensitive. Poor boys that would have just shattered my heart if it happened to me as a child, but I have always been so sensitive.

[Laura's Babies]

Cold, heartless and cruel! OOoooooOOOOoo! I would have been spitting fire if those had been MY boys who just had their spirits crushed by someone so cold, heartless and cruel!! Those bracelets would have been down her throat before I knew what I was doing! That "&%)%#@*)"

[Hellow]

Im serious, does anyone have their e-mail adress because i want to send them a very unfriendly message...

[Flatcoatluver]

Wow what a harsh daughter in law. I am surpriced the mother didn't keep it and tell her children that she is going to keep it because it's so beautiful. Why take it back? That makes the situation a whole lot worse.
