A woman has sparked widespread debate this week after asking whether it was okay to request that her friend return a baby shower gift after she had a miscarriage.
“I won’t get into the details but she was devastated and the cause of the loss likely means she won’t be able to carry future pregnancies to term. It’s incredibly sad and while I’m not close with Jen, my heart hurts for her,” the poster continued.
“Asking her to pay us back for it also seems very cruel. My husband and I are also decently high earners but $400 is still a lot of money. It’s one thing if she’s able to get a few years of use out of the item, that’s money well spent. But if it’s going to sit in a box in her attic for years… that’s where we are getting stuck.
The top comment, with 8.9k likes, read: “You’re the a**hole. It was a gift. It shouldn’t come with terms and conditions. You gave it away. It’s gone.” One person then suggested several things that Jen could do with the gift, such as: “donate it, gift it to a friend, turn it into a little shrine.” They added, “You just don’t know what she’ll do with it and it’s none of your business.”
