Story
Ok my mom is in her 80s and I am in my 50s. STORY: I buy jewelry that is 99 cents (rings, bracelets, necklaces and pins) that look expensive. Every one including my mom have told me all the jewelry I buy is beautiful and they cannot believe I only spent 99 cent. Tonight my mom and I were discussing the jewelry and I told her that I cannot believe how I can get jewelry this cheap that look beautiful and how it looks as if I brought them at Lord & Taylors, Nordstrums. She turned to me and said; But you cannot get that at Tiffanys; This bothered me and I told her she does not have to be negative. She said; Well they arent real stones, I mean they look like you can get them at Lord & Taylors, Nordstrums, Bloomingdales but Tiffany only sells emeralds, diamonds, etc.; I called my friends and told them the conversation and they told me that all my mom is saying is that the jewelry is beautiful but they are not real stones. MY QUESTION: DO YOU AGREE WITH MY FRIENDS. Thanks.

Without seeing the jewlery it is hard to say. You spent 99 cents. If it looks good for 99 cents then cool. I think your mother is just saying she likes stuff from Tiffany's. Has she ever had anything from Tiffany's? does she really know what the stuff from Tiffany's looks like? Some people think the brand has everything to do with the value. If you like the 99 cent jewlery then it doesnt matter what other people think of it. Let them shop at Tiffany's

Your mother is 80 years old. What did you expect her to say?lol
Old people just wanna hurt others for no reason pretty offten.
U should be smart enough to know to ignore her grumpyness.

I agree with the friends. I don't think it was a comment intended to be negative or hurtful. She is saying they may pass off as being high dollar jewelry, but not THAT high dollar.
Besides, at least you know if it doesn't look like it came from Tiffany's, it won't get stolen. Correct?
You really need to stop reading so much into what others say to you. Look- you are turning the words people say into things that hurt your feelings. You are over analyzing the opinions of others to the point that it sounds in your own head as though they are saying something that is cutting you down. See, you are the one who is being negative, and you are being negative to yourself by putting false thoughts behind people's words.
So your jewelry won't pass for Tiffany's; big deal. YOU like the jewelry, don't you? Well, that's all that matters. It makes you happy and you enjoy it. Don't ruin your own happiness by fretting over the things people say about it.
I know you think your mother is negative and critical. But that doesn't mean you have to take every comment she makes to heart. Like I said to you yesterday, I wager if I reach my 80's, I'll probably be a grouchy old bird, but I hope my kids don't get hurt by it. I hope they just let it go in one ear and out the other, because it would never be my intentions to hurt their feelings or make them feel as though I'm cutting them down. I would like to think that your mother thinks the same way.
Have you ever sat down and had a heart to heart conversation with her about your feelings? I mean without arguing, losing your temper, or snapping at her? If you haven't, you should. It may make you feel better to get your feelings out in the open with her. Remember- you need to give her the same respect and listen to her feelings as well.

Please stop with these questions. You need major help and this is not the place to seek it.
Your mom is right, she has a valid point and is not purposely trying to be negative, just realistic.
Now please try your best to stop overanalyzing things so much.

I agree with myself when I say these questions need to be banned. They're so damn stupid.

I agree with your friends on this one. She's said that it is beautiful jewelry in the past & she's just saying that it's not something that is real & overpriced at tiffany's. Don't worry about her - she's probably secretly jealous of your awesome steals.
where do you get this 99 cent jewelry? I'm dying to know :)
