Sometimes the "thoughtful" things parents do when we are teens are the very worst. I think a lot of us have a weird relationship with beauty from a young age because of marketing, and getting make-up as a gift can be lethal for self-esteem. Ugh, and the whole time you're saying thank you, so you don't hurt her feelings back. HUGS
It's so hard knowing the things we are going to do as parents that will harm our kids unknowingly.... cause I think we all manage at least one? Silly humanity 😅 From what it sounds like, all of your other memories with your mom sound top notch. A family that loves through food? Heck yeah!
And your gift OH my gosh!! I absolutely love it, it makes me smile to think of you sitting, basking in all the wonderful things it represents to you 💚
Oh goodness, I'm sure I've done a TON of things that screwed my lad up a little at least, but I hope my good has balanced it out a bit hahaha! It's very human and themother guilt is real, y'all!
Isn't it gorgeous!! I was sooo thrilled. It was soooo unexpected as well - a true suprise! At first I thought it was the kris kringle from my cousin as I didn't make Christmas due to people having COVID, so when Mum said it was from her I was like - what wait? What for?
