Mummy blog website Sanctimommy has shared a screenshot of a Facebook post where a woman has gone on an epic rant about a very first world problem.
An unidentified woman has complained that the “upscale” kids clothing which she donated to her neighbour have now been “trashed.”
“I don’t know what to do with my girls’ outgrown clothes,” she begins, adding that she donated many pieces to her neighbour, who has three daughters, for whom money is tight because she “does not work.”
So far, so good. But then she explains she expected a lot more from her neighbour than simple gratitude.
“I told her I ‘baby’ these clothes. I am meticulous about stains, and they have never been in the dryer.”
Oh.
Stressing that the clothes “looked perfect” when she handed them over, the woman then tells us how devastated she was when she saw the clothes were no longer in said condition.
“I was almost in tears! They were completely trashed!”
Because, you see, her neighbour’s daughter was, at that very time, eating blue ice cream, whilst wearing the special clothes. Not just any ice cream, people. Blue. Ice. Cream.
The offending ice cream was smeared all over the “$100 outfit.” Hence the woman’s tears.
But, according to the woman, this was not the fault of the child. It was the result of terrible, neglectful parenting by the neighbour.

My grandmother used to make me frilly dresses that I had to wear whenever I saw her, and I absolutely hated them. At three they were cute, at 7 they were age inappropriate and embarrassing and I had to sit still and be perfect not to ruin them- in the end I hate her as well as the dresses. I suggest this lady boxes up these outfits and saves them until she can inflict similar pain on her grandchildren, who will be obliged to do what she wants, rather than building up rage against children she can’t control. It’s clear she wants dolls, not children.
That woman's poor kids. Presumably they have never been allowed to damage their clothes whilst enjoying life. Is she a nudist or a killjoy?
