The woman who is about to get married questioned that she should have received a touching gift at her wedding. Instead, her mother offered her to pay for the renovation of the property the couple might be renting from her, if after the sale of their house, they are unable to find a place for themselves.

The woman felt that how can paying for the renovation of the home she owns can be considered as a wedding gift. She also shared that she never expected her to give her the ownership of the house.

Initially, the woman’s mother had put forward the proposal for them to come and live with her so that the couple could save as the house prices were insanely high last year and they had to sell their house because the developers wanted to re-construct the building. The couple had also thought of living in a caravan at her Dad’s place but ultimately the woman’s mother convinced them to stay with her.

As the couple had moved in, her mother changed the décor and interior of the place and asked the woman for assistance in budgeting as she had experience in interior work. Earlier, the woman had made it clear that they would be staying at her place for a year or two and they were sincerely looking for a new property as soon as they would receive the documents of their current house. It was a concrete thing that they were just temporarily living there.

The woman shared that when she told her mother about a new offer they were considering, her mother did not respond. The woman took to social media to ask, “gifting us renovations done on her own home, that we may not even live in anyway, is unacceptable? Or am I ungrateful?”

The woman received a mixed response as people agreed to her that renovations are not considered as wedding gifts and she deserved an acceptable gift on her big day. While some disagreed with her as they thought that funding a renovation is a huge financial thing and her mother is offering the couple to live in a newly renovated house and it did have sentiments attached to it as it’s ultimately a personal item to offer.

Someone said, “I’m a bit confused as to why giving something sentimental isn’t an adequate wedding gift?” The woman responded that she considered the renovations given as gifts unacceptable and not the sentiments.

The woman was confused as she was unable to know the actual intentions of her mother as she always made it clear that they weren’t staying there forever and irrespective of the couple living there or not, the renovations were going to be done. She felt that the renovations had nothing to do with her benefit and the reality was she did it for herself.

It was difficult for the woman to accept it as a gift and appreciate her mother for doing something she didn’t even wish for.
