In a generous gesture, a woman known only as Jessica treated her friend to a few baby items after learning of her pregnancy. She offered an array of items and her friend gracefully accepted.

The friend stated that once the items were handed over, they were now hers and she had every right to do with them as she pleased. The woman felt used, adding that it seemed as though her generosity was taken advantage of. She does not feel like it’s something friends should do.
