Baby showers are all about celebrating, good food, great moods, and of course gifts galore.
But this next story has left a bad taste in many people’s mouths for obvious reasons.
One woman says she gifted her pregnant pal something very expensive and luxurious. Soon, she found out that her pal was no longer expecting and suffered from a tragic miscarriage.
The thought of anyone spending this much money on a baby shower gift is definitely absurd to some people. And this young woman claims that the friendship was stronger than ever so she could not hold back.
“After learning about the tragedy, I told my friend how sorry I felt for her. I expressed my condolences and tried to offer support and comfort during this difficult time. But I also inquired about my gift which was worth a staggering $600”- she continued to add.
But her friend was mortified to hear this behavior. She was appalled at how insensitive she was to ask for something of this kind when she had just lost the baby that was supposed to be her happiness.
This was all done on the phone and it was just a very awkward situation for both sides to be in. One was grieving the loss of a child while the other felt that since there was no other baby in the home, the purchase would go to waste. So why pass it over to someone that had a baby recently and could use this?
The incident has sparked major outrage online. People find it just so hard to accept this behavior from someone who claims to be another’s friend.
Moreover, there were some mentions about how insensitive can anyone be, not to mention the greed that such behavior brings forward. Others call the behavior not very friendly at all.
Heck no your not wrong.. that’s 600.00 that you can put back into account.. unless she planned on returning everyone things just to get money for herself.. that be selfish and wrong.. !!
No it was a miscarriage this is hard times for her she can try for a other baby you should be more supportive
that is so wrong of you yes your spent a lot of money on the baby shower gift but it is so awful to say it could be used for someone’s baby shower have you no feelings towards your friend who lost her baby
A gifts a gift. My daughter JUST lost her baby at 8 months on Mother’s Day, the day before she had been given a shower. I can’t imagine people wanting those gifts back. Don’t spend $600 on someone if you’re going to be like that.
I agree! A gift is a gift. Don’t be selfish worrying about what you gave them! It was a tragic loss. Could you imagine the awkwardness of returning the gifts!
COMPLETELY WRONG AND DISGUSTINGLY DISRESPECTFUL!!!! She just went through one the worst things in her life and your worried about some money? You really deserve the special place in Hell you have on hold for you.
Your a terrible friend! I had a miscarriage early on and cried for days, I wanted the baby so bad. I have a cousin who lost hers a full term, the last thing I wanted was my shower gift back! Never crossed my mind for a second to call her up and ask for it back. How selfish can you be? Yes $600 is a good chunk of money but that makes you the biggest A%^&*E on the planet.
If it were me I let her keep the gifts,her heart is already broken.she needs support now from a friend.
