My sister is down on her luck at the moment having just split with her dh; money is very, very tight for her (no dcs) and she has managed to get herself a very part-time and low paid job but all the same it is doing wonders for her confidence (her ex was a big earner but emotionally abusive which crippled her self-esteem). During a three-way phone chat, my sister told us how tired she was after her work, when my mother announced that she was about to buy a 250 quid coat to add to her collection of a hundred other coats.
I felt really pissed off with my mum for telling my sister this when money is presently so tight for her and told her so. AIBU?
