My parents came over to visit yesterday and basically said I was mean because:
- I was mending some clothing - sewing up holes.
- In the fridge I have bits of leftover food that I use to make meals
They had a bit of a laugh about my "make do and mend" approach.
Just some background information. My parents actually have much less money than our family. They live in a rented council house and just have a state pension, but would never dream of mending clothing and always chuck away leftover food.
I live in a bought house in a nice area and with my DP we have a decent income - bit above the national average.
So am I mean or are my parents just strange?
