We do a gift exchange every year for christmas, we always have since I was young. The limit is 60$ and everyone puts their names in a hat and you buy a gift for the person you pick.
Anyways I was informed this year that I cant participate because last year I didnt buy a gift for my uncle. Last year I couldn't go through with buying the gift because my cars alternator went and I had to get it replaced with a rebuilt. Cost me like 300$ at a garage and I just couldn't afford a gift. I called my uncle and said I would make it up to him and according to my mom I didnt. I bought him a case of beer but my mom says since it wasnt equivalent to 60$ that it doesnt count. So my mom put me on blast for being cheap and told my family that i never made it up to my uncle. Fucking ridiculous, she has no respect. She did that in front of everyone. Everyones saying its not a big deal and that I can do the gift exchange but my mom was being rude about it.
Anyways I dont think im gonna do it and I hope my mom regrets it.
