[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just got off the phone with my mom who says - so what type of costumes will you be buying for the kids this year for Halloween? I have such memories of spending all of October sewing you and your siblings your costumes, but I suppose your kids will never get these expressions of a mother's love given your important career...

Sometimes you have to translate what they say into what you think they really meant if they could communicate properly. What she meant was, "I have such wonderful memories of spending all of October sewing you and your siblings your costumes. It was an expression of my love for you. It makes me sad to think your kids don't have special costumes. Would you like me to sew them costumes or help you make costumes for them? I would love to hear what special things you do for your kids that are an expression of your love for them."[/quote]

Not OP, but I can't agree with that. Maybe if she said "your kids will never have homemade costumes", then yes. But with the "expressions of a mother's love" and "your important career"...that's snark.[/quote]
