The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

You should totally do that, I think she'd appreciate it

Also, I've never sewn but I knit sometimes, and crafting takes a lot of time and energy, especially for pieces of clothing that cover more than a head, hand, or foot... It's a lot to ask a kid to appreciate that, but it still feels like a slap in the face to have something you've poured so much effort and time and love into be treated like that. I'm glad you ultimately realized that.

Your mom sounds awesome; raising kids under any circumstances is hard, and while poor is just...I don't even know how people manage it
