AM I WRONG FOR BEING UPSET THAT MY 70-YEAR-OLD MOM BOUGHT A $1,800 DESIGNER DRESS INSTEAD OF HELPING WITH HER GRANDSON’S EDUCATION?
I just don’t understand my mom’s priorities.
She turned 70 recently and decided to treat herself to a designer dress worth $1,800—just to wear to her book club and the occasional get-together with friends.
Meanwhile, my son is about to start college, and every bit of financial help would make a difference.
I’m struggling with this.
She’s always been practical, putting family first, so this feels completely out of character.
That money could’ve actually meant something to her grandson’s future.
Am I being unreasonable for feeling this way?
Shouldn’t she care more about family than an expensive dress she probably won’t wear more than a few times?
Has anyone else dealt with something like this?

Something that makes me feel good, something that reminds me that I’m still a person beyond just being a mother and a grandmother.
