What do you do when you have to buy Christmas gifts for a parent who always breaks or ruins what you get them? Everything I ever buy for my Mom she completely destroys, loses or breaks it.

I have been through a lot in life too, which helps me to be able to empathize with situations, thoughts and feelings that we have. Sometimes, it's not easy just being human.

Hello.
I think giving gifts is not a must, if you do not want to give her a present, it is ok not to do it.
Do you talk to her about it ?
Maybe you could talk to her about it, and say it bothers you.
Do you want to give a gift anyway ? Do you like doing it ?
If your issue is only the loss of the gift, maybe offering food or something like that could be an alternative ?
Do not hesitate to send me a private message if you want to talk more about it. :)
