Burning with Indignation... might even be Righteous

[sharonbay]

About 2 months ago while at the library play group we met a young mom who had one little girl and another on the way and by the look of it any minute.  She was a nice enough lady and a couple of moms in our group got to know her.   Her husband is a louse and doesn't give her money for the kids, and she had to stop working as she is so close to her

From what I've heard in the last few weeks she is just a user/loser anyway. She is takign advantage of some of my friends and I have told them to be wary of her.

Just go to show that con artists can be anyone. She probably using the kids a prop.

I just won't allow it to be me the next time.

Definitely righteous indignation. At the best she's selfish and ignorant of how to graciously receive a gift. At the worst...well, the other comments have covered that quite well.

When you get it for free, find a use for it. If you can't use it, at least have the decency to tell the person so they can keep it for someone that can use it (possibly themselves). I would say she's out of line to sell it to a consignment shop, but I'm not in her shoes. As for a second shower? I agree with you, I'd be done too.

I will be interested to see if it sells.

Taking it back doesn't even compare to the stones it takes to invite you to another shower to bring more gifts!

Apparently she wasn't happy with that one either. She complained that all she got was clothes.

Unbelievable!
