buying son's girlfiend of 2 months

Okay this woman I work with is buying her son's girlfirend of 2 months a North Face jacket for Christmas! She can hardly get by month to month, so I tell her she is crazy for getting this girl a $150 gift. The kids are in Highschool and have not been dating long at all!!! Well of course she gets upset with me and is like well I just want him to be happy.... But anyway I think she is still crazy. I could not imagine a high school boyfriends parents spending that kind of money on me.

Re: buying son's girlfiend of 2 months

  • Wow.  My parents would never have done that.  Heck, I've never spent that much money on a boyfriend before, lol.  If she has decided on spending that much on the girl, then there is no talking her out of that. 
  • Sounds like my MIL...my BIL's girlfriend when they were in HS got the same $$ amount of gifts as my BIL and DH and then she broke up with my BIL two days after Christmas.  I'm pretty sure my MIL felt like an idiot then. 
  • Wow! That is crazy!

  • Well, that's about 130 more than I'd spend. Is she buying this jacket for her son to give the girl? That would be stupid too, he shouldn't spend that much either and HE should be the one paying for it. If the parents give her a gift at all it should be a token type of gift, nothing major.
  • That is crazy. There's no way I would do that.
  • Mercy! It sounds like she's trying to reel her into the family.
