Today Stacy decided to get her closet even more organized than it already is so she took everything out of her closet and put them on her bed. As she was putting the itmes back in the closet the way she wanted she tried on one blouse and went in her mothers room to show her mom.
Stacy: “Mom isn’t this pretty”
Mom: “Yes”
Stacy: “This is a winter blouse. It will be beautiful with a turtle neck under it. I can wear it in the winter with a turtle neck and pants”
Mom: “You have to get a job to wear the clothes”
This got Stacy really mad.
Stacy: “Are you saying that I shouldn’t wear it if I don’t have a job”
Mom: “No, but wouldn’t it be nice if you had a job to wear them to”
Stacy: “Yes I would like a job, but I buy the clothes for me”
Stacy and her mom had a fight each saying nasty things to one another. Stacy was upset at the comment her mother made “You have to get a job to wear the clothes.” Yes Stacy wants a job, but she purchased the clothes to wear for herself.
My question: If the comment “You have to get a job to wear the clothes” was made to you would you automatically jump to the conclusion that the person was saying you don’t need the clothes unless you have a job and would you think they were saying that you should not buy the clothes for yourself or what would you think - details please
