By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2009 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, my five year-old daughter came up to me and asked, "Mom, why are we so poor?" I replied, in a sweet motherly tone, "Honey, we're not poor." She then asked, "Then why do you dress like we are poor?" FML

ouch, she's starting off early. i only started questioning if we were poor when i was 15. and we are, but really it doesn't matter. show your kid there are better things in life than money.

i understand your daughter.... my mom dresses really frumpy for her age & my whole family is embarrassed by it, i have been forever, but she's too sensitive for us to say anything. she has a great figure, she just can't dress it! she thinks it's the seventiies most of the time!

My Wife grew up poor. It can be really traumatising when kids go days without eating. She still has tendencies and food security anxiety issues, even at the age of 27. Money may not be everything, but homeless with no food can make a huge impact and issues relating to it can be traumatising.

OUCH. Either your wardrobe hasn't been updated in a while or your kid is a little piece of superficial shit. Either way, she shouldn't be so selfish to think that money is everything in the world. Time to sit her down and teach her that she's wrong to think clothes and money are everything.

Kids expect too much when they're young.
