A woman has revealed how her whole family turned against her, after she called out her mum for demanding lavish gifts on her children's birthdays.

The 25-year-old says how she and her three siblings, who are aged 10, 16 and 18, are always expected to buy gifts for their mum on their own birthdays, as well as their siblings', to celebrate the fact their mum gave birth.

"Every year on every single one of our birthday, we're expected to celebrate my mom as well. We've done it since we were little. It was taught to me as 'giving thanks for carrying and giving birth to us,' which I'm all for, I am grateful as we wouldn't be here without her. The issue is though, it becomes less of our birthday and more-so an anniversary for the day our mom gave birth,".

"Every year on our birthday our mom gets gifts too. As we got older, we're now expected to get her monetary gifts (and not cards, or homemade stuff). Just recently was my birthday and I was gifted some much needed clothes and dishware for my new apartment. My dad however got my mom a new macbook."

The woman's siblings all bought their mum gifts too, and this year her 16-year-old sister pulled her aside to apologise for not being able to buy much as she'd spent all her money on an expensive necklace for her their mum, which she'd been dropping hints about for months.

"My sister was worried our mom would be upset and feel underappreciated if she didn't get it. I asked how much it was, and my sister said it was $300. I honestly lost it on our mom and chewed into her later that afternoon when my mom opened her gifts after me," she continued.

"I think she's ridiculous for even wanting my sister to spend so much on a gift! Mom started crying and my dad kicked me out. Mom won't answer calls but my aunt mom's sister called and said I was a piece of s*** for not respecting my mother and that I'm a selfish, narcissist child for being jealous of the gifts mom got."

Mum slammed for cancelling daughter's 10th birthday over argument about washing up
At first the woman was convinced she was in the right, but since then she's started questioning things as her mum hasn't returned her calls for two weeks now,

"She's been posting on Facebook inspiration quotes about letting go of the toxicity in your life, how blood doesn't equal family, and how hard it is to be a mother. Several family members - aunt, grandma, uncle, and two of my cousins - are replying to the posts and are very obviously directing vague comments at me about being a horrible daughter," she continued.

How would you react if your mom demanded you got her presents on your birthday to thank her for giving birth to you and mothering you for years?

Then made hints about an expensive necklace she wanted

I'd tell her she's a dirty whore and that she can be in my life when she views me as a person and not merely an extension of herself that exist for her glory and enrichment.

Now that is some premium narcissism.

Not the daughter.

The mom.

Daughter sounds like the only sane one.

Then it's only fair the mom give them lavish gifts on her birthday since without her they wouldn't have been born and it's them celebrating her celebrating them.

Maybe Mother's Day as well.

Dude....

I am not going to pretend like I would not be nasty AF if my Mother was bullying and extorting me and my siblings.

I would definitely drop some nasty insults in the moment. I am not a super confrontational person but when I do go off I go the fuck off.

Insults I can understand in the heat of the moment but calling your mom a dirty whore feels like a self-own if anything.

Call her a greedy bitch or something

If my mom demanded a $300 gift on my or my bother's birthday when I was 16 I would've gone straight to child protective services.

Sounds like a family of toxic enablers. The girl is in the right. Imagine expecting your 16-year-old daughter to buy you a $300 necklace. How much of a self-centered piece of garbage do you have to be?

You think being a greedy bitch is better than being a dirty whore? Where would you rank irritating shrew?

The worst part of it is that I bet the mom doesn't spend nearly as much on her children for their birthdays.

lmao this reddit comment

Mothers Day get all the kids to send your parents a list of what you want. When they ask why you think you deserve gifts just act confused and tell them "Well, she wouldnt be a mom without us kids right?"

This is up there with those parents that kick their kids out at 18 and give them a bill for all the years they spent raising them.

I did briefly think that maybe it's not terrible to celebrate the pain a Mother goes through with birth but then I thought nah. Fuck that. It's a day to celebrate your kids. Mothers Day is a thing.

The way this ended up going isn't overly surprising.

you can straight up tell when its from there. they all read the same. i'm 90% certain some person with the same mindset of the 10+ year gimmick posters here just constantly writes their fiction and posts it under throwaways for attention.

Doesnt giving your mother (or father for that matter) a present on your birthday make more sense though?

I mean she/he gave you life. You'd not be here on GAMEFAQS if not for her/him.
