Just that.
He’s 18 & working full time on a good salary for his age.
I’m a cleaner. In the terrible weather this week my shoes have hole.
He’s just sent a link for new shoes to be delivered tomorrow.
I cried

Lovely - my ds does things like this too , just at the point I’m ready to move out myself to get away from him(lighthearted ) , he surprises me !

Mumof2bears · 15/08/2019 23:08

That's lovely :-)
Can you describe the shoes - are they a direct replacement for the ones with a hole in, or are they a bit different?

HeadintheiClouds · 15/08/2019 23:11

Stop asking are they “nice” shoes, guys Hmm. They’re a replacement for worn out shoes op couldn’t replace herself ; I dare say they’re worth more to her than Louboutins.

Well done you for raising such a kind empathetic young person. You've every right to be proud Thanks

Myfoolishboatisleaning · 15/08/2019 23:16

Lovely boy! You raised a good’un.

Sorrysorrysosorry · 15/08/2019 23:17

So lovely. I’m sure as a parent, it must feel hard to accept something from your child, but what an amazing child you have raised! He obviously has so much love and respect for you. You should be very proud to have raised such a lovely caring boy. I hope the new shoes are comfy.

I wondered at the time why he was asking about my size feet but just dismissed it. He was with his mates so to me it was just chat.
They are Converse. Nothing fancy. These have lasted me.
He is my bloody everything

How lovely your boy is.

Ooh converse are nice, and go with everything! It's even nicer that he got you the real deal when theres so many cheaper versions out there. Kindness is everything x

That is one young man who treasures his mum. You did a beautiful job raising him.

You must be so proud. What a lovely young man you've raised!

TinklyLittleLaugh · 16/08/2019 00:26

Converse is pushing the boat out though, very generous.

That lovely. So thoughtful. After the tales of feckless, lazy, inconsiderate young people posted here it's good to hear positive stories. A fine young man you raised
