I bought my mother a laptop for 700 euro almost 1 year ago but she has only used it once to date.
Her old laptop broke and she "regretted" that…
So I bought her a new one…
But every time she does something on the Internet, she just uses her cell phone instead of my laptop.
She just always means "it won't be bad"
But when I gave it to her she said "Wow not even your father bought me something so expensive" which I doubt… He always tried hard for her but somehow she never seems to be good enough (I'm sorry to say that but so is it)
They're already 16 years apart…
She didn't even treat him to his new car…
In addition, she always wants me to be the super great dodger but I could write 10 books about this story if I had the breath…
A cell phone is more practical than a laptop
It was certainly nice of you, but to demand that she use it too much. It is up to her how she surfs the net
The matter with your father and her is none of your business.
Hmh. Your text shows me that gifts can be abolished. Everyone buys what he / she would like to have. We have been celebrating this for decades. We don't have "she didn't touch my present". Because what you buy yourself, you also touch - or is it clear that it was a bad buy.
I don't know why your mother behaved like she does. You wouldn't be my girlfriend.
That is really great of you and a nice gesture.
I know that. I always give my father nice things. Personal, expensive, etc. But they are still in the corner!
It also kills me.
But maybe she just doesn't want it to break? Or she's sorry for spending so much money.
If your father has already tried to give her something nice, but has failed, then she is simply ungrateful or not interested.
"She doesn't treat him to his new car - 16 years apart"
That speaks of envy.
Talk to her about it. Maybe it's unconscious of your mother.
It doesn't work… My father always said "She'd rather die than admit her mistakes" and that's how I found out. I really always tried to make her happy… But I don't want to talk about it anymore.
You can't just change older people - pull them out of their habits. And it's difficult for them to get used to something new.
Just grasped one thing, already learning something new. With a Läppi it will be nothing.

I should definitely get a cell phone. But if I need it once a year and do everything on the PC anyway, then it doesn't help me. Is it too expensive and know about it? The parts are becoming more complicated and short-lived. And just write letters? Nope
She is a secretary… Or the "IT specialist" in her company… She has to do with technology every day!
If you have got used to surfing on the cell phone, you do that.
Why does your mother have to use the laptop when she can do better with the cell phone?
Did she ask you to give her a laptop?
This has nothing to do with ingratitude, but with habit.
Next time you should inform yourself beforehand… ^^
May I kindly point out that… WOMEN ARE THAT (!) When they talk about something subliminally… That they also "normally" like… As normal a woman can be… Want it? She has stressed a few times what a shame it is that her laptop is no longer working…
Then unfortunately you have to cope with it. My father is just like your mother. I understand it sooo well!
Just stand over it. And if she needs something, then she should get it herself if she is so ungrateful.
May I kindly point out that… WOMEN ARE THAT (!)
No. I'm a woman and able to express my wishes…
Apparently it was a misinterpretation on your part…
Of course… And on the other hand, we men are so bad because we never try to understand women…
Well if I ignore her for too long, she keeps crawling into my buttocks and telling me "it's a shame if this is between us" I think she would only be satisfied if I was 3x in the book of world records… On the moon I flew and cured cancer…
I know. But don't avoid them. Just avoid giving her gifts that are expensive or big. Simply chocolate and that's it. What she does with it is her business!
Find a woman first and don't tie everything up to your mother… ^^
It's just plain theory on your part.
Then she probably doesn't want to be reminded of her work after work. For reasons related to my work, I don't like black. Something like that could also be understood.
