    Teacherīs Day gift...

    planning ahead for Teacherīs Day... (May 15th)... I ordered some of these candles which I think are cute (they are the size of a big apple) and a nice gesture gift...





    soooo... I told hubby and he asked me to get one for him for one of his former teachers, which has been a great motivator for him....

    and the "issue" here was: we went to his parents house and he told them very excited what I had bought

    he said: "mom, Isabel just got some very nice apples for Teacherīs day, they are just a lil something for the teachers on their day and I got another one for my teacher "X"... they are candles inside"...."what do you think?"

    and she just stayed MUTE.... I knew what she was thinking..... so he asked her again what she thought of them... and she replied after a few mute seconds...

    "I wouldnīt have bought them" and hubby asked why, and she said "because itīs so cheap and small" (and making a face of being disgusted or if she was smelling a rotting thing)... and I was like WHAT?!!... what do you want me to get them? A HOUSE? A CAR? or maybe a 24K 1,000 jewelry?!!

    I donīt undertand her.... what is her problem??!!... oh wait... I know... ME!!... LOL...

    well I donīt care, anyway itīs not her whoīs buying them or giving them, so back off!!.. you do your thing I do mine!!

    sorry for the sharing turning into vent....

    They are cute, and a nice token of appreciation. Which is more than most teachers will likely get!

    I think they're awesome...especially for a teacher (the whole apple thing ). Very thoughtful of you and they WILL be appreciated by those they were intended for.

    Um, you DO know the one on the left is a pear, right? LOL.

    I think those are quite nice for the teachers! Better than giving them perfume or soap, which they get a lot. So this is different!

    Husky mom your MIL is totally wrong and saying what she did is rude.
    I thought they were priceless because of the old standby "apple for the teacher" thing. I would give them to the teachers and ignore what was said. They were meant for the teachers and I think they will love them. It really isn't what you give, it's the thought that counts. My mom was a teacher and until the day she died she treasured and kept all those little gifts from her students.

    I have to wonder if your husband is the kind of person who always doubts himself, can't make decisions easily, etc...what with growing up with a mother like that. You weren't raised by her so you will be much less likely to take her cr** and that is a good thing!

    I completely ignored her comment....well it did bother me but Iīm used to her acting like that... so I took it as it came and let it pass... LOL I too agree the thought is what counts
