Worst B-day gifts, narcissist mom, cheer up please...?

If you haven't already done so, move out on your own and limit contact with your mother. For her birthday buy her a hand mirror and tell her it is for admiring herself. Buy a package of bubble gum and a box of fabric sheets for the dryer. Then from now on send only a birthday card. Most mothers cherish their children and want to make them happy. Not all mothers a maternal. Sounds like your mother is one of those mothers.
