Making peace or being nasty?

Question

I had a fall out with my bestie several months ago. Over the last few months we've been visiting infrequently, but hadn't become close friends again. Then 3 weeks ago, she bails me up in front of our kids child care and started an argument with me. She then didn't invite me to her son's b'day party the week after.

We haven't talked since the fight, and I hadn't planned to make contact as after this, there's no way I want her friendship back. Well anyhoo, today when I drop my daughter off at childcare, there's a package there for me. It's the Xmas presents that she didn't give my kids last Xmas! (we had the fall out about 2 weeks before Christmas) There was no note just the presents.

How would you all take this???? Is this a way of trying to make it up to me or make amends, or is it like a 'you're cut from my life, here's the presents, now bye bye'???

Answer 1

I have 2 observations for you.

If your statement is true, "there's no way I want her friendship back" then it really doesn't matter what her intentions are.  Continue to live your life without her.

If she was trying to make peace, she would have delivered the presents in person.  This is just her way of getting the last word.

I don't think I would have accepted the presents.
