She Tried To Be Nice To Her Boyfriend’s Parents By Bringing Them Thoughtful Gifts Every Time She Was Invited To Their House But Everyone Is Accusing Her Of Having An Agenda
No good deed goes unpunished, right? Well, one 23-year-old woman is learning the meaning of that after she really went out of her way to be nice to her boyfriend’s mom and dad.
Although she was born here in America, her own parents are from the Caribbean, and growing up, it was very important for her mom and dad to make sure that she always knew to bring a little present to someone’s house if she was invited over.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s family or friends or that one person you kind of know but don’t really like, bringing something is a must,” she explained about what her mom and dad think.
Anyway, this young woman has been in a relationship with her 28-year-old boyfriend for close to 4 years, and they go to her boyfriend’s mom and dad’s place every single week to have dinner with them.
She has always loved her boyfriend’s mom and dad, so she had no problem making dinner a weekly event.
“Every week I made sure to bring something small to show my appreciation for them cooking for us (always using my own money); a small bottle of wine, their favorite dessert, some flowers, etc., and they always thanked me for it,” she said.
“This has been going on for a few months and absolutely didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary until yesterday when my bf and I were preparing to head over.”
She picked up a little bouquet of daffodils, and she was happy to bring them to her boyfriend’s mom and dad since she knows they are one of his mom’s favorite flowers.
When her boyfriend saw her pick up the flowers as they were about to head over, he got upset with her seemingly out of the blue.

Her boyfriend told her that she was treating his mom and dad like “a charity case” before accusing her of pushing her culture on them.
She really was bewildered to hear her boyfriend say all of this since for as long as her boyfriend has known her he has seen her pick up little gifts for everyone whose house she goes to.
She felt so upset by what her boyfriend said, so she passed the flowers to him and decided to go for a walk alone.
She didn’t want to go to his mom and dad’s house after he blew up on her like that.
“After he came home he still had the flowers which he gave to me and told me he was sorry but his parents really were super annoyed with me constantly bringing stuff over like they can’t take care of themselves, and later on I got a text from his dad asking me to not come over for dinner anymore,” she continued.
Since then, her boyfriend hasn’t been speaking to her and he’s expecting her to say sorry to his mom and dad…for being thoughtful.
“I really, truly don’t feel like I’m in the wrong for trying to be nice to them,” she concluded, before asking if she really did something wrong.
Do you think her boyfriend and his parents are the worst people you’ve ever heard of, or what?
