Most of us have received a disappointing gift at some point.

But in this story, the bad present seems like it comes with bad intentions.

Let’s open it up.

AITA for rejecting a birthday gift from my mom?

I turned 16 two weeks ago and my mom gave me a locket for my birthday.

What’s inside? A problem.

When I opened it up I saw she had put a photo of her and her husband instead of her and my dad.

My parents divorced when I was little.

My mom started dating her husband when I was 5, and he moved in with us when I was 6.

My dad died when I was 10.

Sad story. You’d think Mom would be more sensitive.

I was never close with my mom’s husband.

He never liked my dad and never tried to hide it, so I disliked him.

Then he got drunk before my dad’s funeral and he gloated to my grandparents that he was the only dad I’d have now and my dad would soon be forgotten.

Some things you can never take back. Maybe he at least apologized.

I wasn’t in the room when it happened but he got so loud that I heard that part.

My mom tried to excuse his behavior as him being drunk and not thinking clearly but it intensified my dislike for him.

She’s always tried to make me give him another chance.

She told me I liked him at the start and could love him if I tried. She told me he’d be a good dad.

Um. Whose side are you on, Mom?

So when I saw the locket I was kinda triggered and I rejected the gift and told her it was insensitive to give me that when she knew how I felt about her husband.

She told me she couldn’t put dad’s photo in it and it was unfair to expect her to.

She said it was unfair to push her husband away and reject him like that as well.

I think maybe this gift was unfair.

She said rejecting a birthday gift isn’t right either and it’s hurtful and I should apologize and accept it.

I told her I didn’t want a gift like that and I don’t appreciate it.

AITA?

I’d say this is a regift if I’ve ever heard of one.

What do the comments conclude?

This person says, there is no “try.”

Another person says, new photo please.

This person has a prediction for the future.

One poster says, even at 16, you get no respect.

Someone else says, there’s another AH in the room.

This sweet sixteen turned sour.

Her mom should have known better.
