Was I Wrong to Be Upset? My 70-Year-Old Mom Bought a $1,800 Dress Instead of Helping with Her Grandson’s College Fund

I never thought I’d question my mother’s priorities—until I saw the $1,800 receipt for a designer dress. My son is starting college, and every penny helps, yet she spent that money on herself.

Growing up, she sacrificed everything for us—working extra shifts, wearing the same coat for years, always putting family first. So why now?

When I asked, she simply said, “For seventy years, I’ve given everything to my children. Just once, I wanted something for me.”

At first, I was frustrated. But then, I realized—after a lifetime of selflessness, she wasn’t being selfish. She was reminding herself she was more than just a mother.

And maybe, that was okay.
