Looking for genuine thoughts
I am visiting my parents for the first time after getting my new engagement ring. I was excited to show my parents in person, so I’ve waited until visiting and haven’t sent any photos etc. At first, all my mother said was that it was pretty (surprising, as she always has some criticism about any and everything) and it made me happy to show her. The next day, she commented, in the manner of a passing comment that: “that ring looks like it’s from a 25 cent chance”. I actually don’t even understand the reference, so I was more bewildered than anything. But I know, it obviously was not a compliment. 😂 I did not dignify the comment with a response, and we moved on to talk about other topics.
My questions are: 1) what did that comment actually mean? 2) Do you guys agree?
Also, I happen to love my ring, it’s definitely my dream ring, and I’ve never had a negative comment made about it before. I wish I was less thrown by the comment because this is very much in line with my mother’s personality but, obviously, it still hurt a bit.
