GlimmeringGryphon+FollowWhen a Birthday Gift Turns Into a Bill 💸🎢So here’s the deal: months ago, my mom promised to take me and my son to Disneyland for our birthdays. She said it was her treat—a real birthday gift! We were thrilled, thinking she’d cover our tickets, and maybe my husband would handle the rest. But now, after retiring, she suddenly says she can only chip in $500 for a $1500 trip. The rest? That’s on us. I feel totally blindsided! If I’d known we’d be footing most of the bill, I never would’ve agreed. It was her idea, her invitation, and now I’m stuck either paying $1000 or disappointing my kid. What would you do if a gift turned into a group expense? Is it wrong to feel upset? Help me out here—I’m at my wit’s end! 😤🤯 #FamilyFinance #AwkwardMoney #BirthdayDrama #DisneylandDilemma #RomanticRelationships168Share
