Oh
Mommy we can't. Oh, honey. We'll be fine
Look at this boys. That is a bargain
I've got
Many we won't have enough money to buy this stuff. I'm sorry, ma'am your cards been declined
I
Have cash but that's our grocery money
What you're seeing is a battle between a mother with a shopping addiction and our daughter trying desperately to stop mom's
out-of-control spending
Do you side with a daughter until mom to stop her senseless shopping or do you shelve your opinion and stay silent?
What would you do?
They won't have enough money to buy food. If you buy all this stuff, honey, we'll be fine. Mommy has to keep up her image
We're at hangars a clothing store in Astoria, New York. Oh
Did you like this I do too
Mommy, you can't afford any more clothes
She's spending too much money. Are you even going to wear it? I will wear this man thinks it's funny
For now, but then she's me sorry to trust this card was declined maybe even at that card. Sorry about that
Okay, didn't you have $20 from your grandma? Can I just borrow that just for a quick repair one-handed should I know we'll listen
We're gonna go we're gonna see grandma later. So I have a little bit of cash. I can put against it
Yeah, I'll go with you. Okay, I'm sorry student. Hang on over just seconds
Now as laughter turns to sympathy
She says she's spending our grocery money on clothes and then that sympathy becomes generosity
Time to tell this generous man its what would you do you felt sorry for definitely. Yes
Because I love kids but it's hard to tell the mother don't buy clothes and easy to carry kids first before you buy a clothes
I mean
Can't afford to be shopping
Honey, it's fine. This next woman. Looks like she's a little preoccupied, but don't let those headphones. Fool you
Can't afford it
She's actually listening to Ava's warning
Okay
but when little Ava seeks her advice, oh
Don't shopping addicts because my mom is my mother's - so you're like me
You told the little girl that your mom was, yeah. She's like sucia, okay, but she wouldn't spend grocery money or rent
No, that's the first thing I heard I was like rushing money. That's like damn
Why didn't you confront the mother and tell her something?
I felt like it was none of my business and I felt like it's out of my control and
She's not the only one who feels helpless
So far no one seems willing to tell our mom out right to resist saying yes to all those stresses
And then we meet sisters sautée and maria mami you're spending too much. Don't you want your mommy to look pretty?
Here just Maria overhears the conversation
But it looks like she'd rather keep shopping than get in the middle that is until Ava asks for help
Excuse me. What should I do about any mom? She said dismissive shop
Mm-hmm. She's spending our grocery money
They don't have that much money. We send Suzanne in I'm sorry. What is she saying to you guys?
Okay, we can use some of the Christmas money the grandma gave you
Let me borrow it and we'll just go up front and not bother these ladies and with that they share a lesson about
priorities
I'm trying to date. I'm trying to keeping parents and
kids
The kids should find comfort. Listen, you're not in an expensive job, but
Sober $20.00 will go a long way
Sorry, I'm not you know one side any parent you're the parent time to tell her it's what would you do? Hi there?
How are you?
I'm John quinones. This is what would you do? Tell us what you were thinking? I have three daughters and
I want to go shopping for myself, but I never do it. They're my priority. They come first my parents did everything for us
Whatever they could and now you you would go without for your child
So the moral of the story what would you tell people if you have kids kids first kids come first in life. That's it
I'm Greek, man
