Man clashes with entitled mother-in-law over expensive gift demands

When it comes to family, money can be a sensitive issue. One man recently found himself in a tough spot when his mother-in-law began making unreasonable demands for expensive gifts. Despite trying to maintain a good relationship, tensions boiled over on Mother’s Day when the man refused to buy a pricey necklace and instead opted for a heartfelt gift from his late mother’s garden.
