Such a funny post. Since my child grew up in an affluent neighborhood, I've set expectations early on that we're "poor" compared to his friends. But that we won't go hungry and he will have the things he needs. Over the years, when we travel on business/first class, stay in fancy hotels and enjoy fine dining, it's because I'm the bougie and he's only along for the ride. Now that he's an adult and travels on his own, he's definitely flexing. I do think that moms need to do less skimping or feeling guilty about buying that designer outfit or purse. We all worked hard for it and deserve it.
The line about losing their minds over a $6 vintage sweater from Goodwill had me cracking up. It's wild how the same souls chasing branded perfumes are also the first to dive into a thrift store deal—gotta love the contrast!
