How do i handle My friend now that she wants to take the computer back?

I told my friend that it was to much for her to buy my son a computer, I also explained I couldnt take on anymore bills at this time. She insisted on doing this for my son. My son was so excited we graciously thanked her. She said no problem. I thanked her over and over. But now that she got in trouble with her husband she wants to come take it back from my son. This year has been devasting to my son and this computer is the only good thing that has happened to him. I feel bad but i explained my finacial situation and she insisted on doing this for my son. Now I refuse to take it from him. This is the only good thing that has happened this year, and he is on it all the time.

Answer:
Sweetheart, the computer is yours! Maybe your son can do some things for your friend in return and let him feel he earned it. That is if the relationship is still ok after you tell her you're not giving it back. By the way, give your son a big hug. Sounds like he needs it! Good luck and God Bless you both! Remember, confusion is not of the Lord!
I would say she has no legal grounds to take it, but if you just want to get her out of your life, give it back.
It seems to me that if she gave it to your son, it is his (and yours) to do with as he wishes. Her bills and her husband are HER problems, and not yours.
It was a gift. It is NOT hers to take back, however, if you are worried about your friendship, you may consider giving it back. If it were me, my son would be more important than any friendship.
Appreciate the time your son had with it. You didn't want it in the first place, she is in a place with the husband. There must be
an underlying reason for this.

Plus if the computer is sooooo very important to your child, there are many places that sell the older models very cheap, and he can earn the money himself. Good sense of responsibility.

Kindness on both you parts will make you better friends.

good luck
What a horrible situation to be in. choosing between your friendship and your child. I would definately opt for protecting my child's interests. Any friend who cannot understand that is not (and was not) a true friend so you really haven't lost anything by sticking by your kid's wants and needs and telling the friend to go pound salt up her . never mind. Keep the computer and ditch the nervy witch.
