Entitlement or Truth?

Wren

Not sure if this exactly fits, if not, I’ll be more than happy to delete . But one of my Facebook friends posted this . I grew up poor, oldest of 6 kids. I’m now making really good money, have a daughter who has everything she could ever ask for.

This is my aunt. She makes really good money, spoils her kids, and posted this today. Always bragging about how good she has it and so on .

This post rubbed me the wrong way simply because not everyone is as privileged as her . My mom struggled . She did the absolute best that she could, but we did not have the money that some people had. I didn’t have the newest clothes or was not spoiled . SHE even grew up poor, so I’m not sure how she could even speak like this knowing what it’s like on the other side of the fence .

I’m not sure if her post holds truth, or if she sounds entitled, but I don’t agree with how she worded this. If my daughters friends ever came over and lacked something, you best believe I’m taking care of it with no problem . As a mother, how could I not ?

Facebook is not the place to air out someone’s dirty laundry especially when it has something to do with someone’s personal business like that . As a child, I would have been embarrassed for people to know that we went through some of the things I went through. I would have been mortified if someone told the internet what I was going through.

So, is this a valid statement, or is this something that should be kept to yourself ? I feel like she could be talking about parents who had it but neglected their children anyway, but if so, she should have clarified that! Anything to go viral, I guess.

This is my first post, so not really sure if this fits, but I hope it becomes a good topic!
