According to her, it was obvious that the bag was just a dupe. So, her niece turned bright red and asked, “What is this? Is this a joke?”
She didn’t back down, though, and told her niece it was not a joke.
“No, this is your gift. Maybe in the future, you should be grateful for the gifts we get you. It’s not the price that matters; it’s the thought,” she added.
At that point, her niece burst into tears and called her and her husband “embarrassing” and “cheap.” Her sister-in-law told her off, too.
So, ever since the birthday party, her brother, sister-in-law, and parents have all accused her of letting her niece down. They also believe that she needs to apologize.
However, she honestly thinks that her niece needs to be humbled. On top of that, she believes her niece is the one who owes her and her husband an apology after demanding that they buy the expensive bag in the first place.
Nonetheless, with her family still upset with her, she’s been left wondering whether buying her niece the expensive bag dupe in order to humble her was the wrong thing to do.
Do you agree that her niece needed to be humbled? Even so, was buying a fake designer bag the right way to do it? Would it have been better if she had an honest conversation with her niece about entitlement and gratitude? What would you have done in this situation?
