On Jean’s sixth birthday, my mother-in-law, Jacqueline, surprised her with a stunning pink bike — streamers, daisies, the works. Jean was overjoyed, and I was shocked by the rare moment of kindness. But Jacqueline’s generosity is never free; there’s always a catch. And this time, the price was heartbreak.
Less than a week later, Jacqueline showed up without warning and took the bike back. Her excuse? My niece Mia had a meltdown and wanted one too. Instead of being fair, Jacqueline decided Jean didn’t “need it that badly.” My daughter stood on the porch crying as her gift disappeared down the road.
