‘He’s saying I’m making him look like a gold digger’: Insecure son flips out on mom after his rich girlfriend gives her thoughtful and expensive birthday gift

I feel like even the diehard childfree have to admit there can be a couple of benefits to having kids, and one of these is that they might grow up and get into a relationship with someone who winds up being a delightful addition to the family. In-law relationships can be notoriously difficult, but there can be occasions when things go right. 

It initially seemed like one mom was on the fortunate receiving end of this in a recent AITA, after her son got into a relationship with a girl from a very wealthy background. As somebody from a poorer family, he was paranoid about being perceived as a gold digger and was not pleased when he found out that his mom had unexpectedly received an expensive handbag as a birthday gift after she had mentioned it in passing some time ago. 

Querying whether she was wrong to not want to return the present, Redditors assured the mom that it was better manners to keep it. If the insecurity is always going to be there, perhaps this relationship isn’t for him.
