She probably was. Don't take it personal.
I'm always telling my family to not buy/stop buying stuff for me. I think moms can sometimes be universally the hardest in this regard. Especially if they're or where pretty affluent.
This year I asked for a dish drying rack. I think it finally sunk in that its important for me to be able to wash a single dish every now and then without fussing over drying it.
I also figured they can't get in too much trouble if I ask for something that's literally sub $10 in almost every iteration. A used one from the hospice, second hand store would even be great.
