My mother keeps insisting I wear this hoodie, cause she bought it

[u/personthatisapersons]

I can't stand it, partially because it had something to do with a baby shower which was before I was born anyway

But mostly because it's AI slop, probably made in a sweatshop, and it's not even that warm or comfortable

Any reason I give is instantly shut down, per usual

[u/personthatisapersons]

Won't let me wash clothes, barr me from using the machines unless I wear it.

[u/LetRevolutionary271 → u/personthatisapersons]

Why's she obsessed with you wearing it 😭? It's cheap anyways

[u/personthatisapersons → u/LetRevolutionary271]

Has to do with a baby shower, and a costume I wore, and I guess she thinks its nice? she claims to be very tech efficient but can't seem to find the problem with an AI generated hoodie

[u/LetRevolutionary271 → u/personthatisapersons]

Start handwashing your clothes then, she can't possibly ban you from the bathroom 💔

[u/personthatisapersons → u/LetRevolutionary271]

Fair point, lets just hope the other temu stuff just doesn't fall apart in the sink tho lol

[u/LetRevolutionary271 → u/personthatisapersons]

Oh and if she bans you from using the dryer, use the Sun, in Europe it works very well to dry clothes

[u/personthatisapersons → u/LetRevolutionary271]

Well where I'm at tends to be cloudy as shit, I could just hang them around then, not a big deal

[u/zincboymc → u/personthatisapersons]

You can always hang your clothes in your room. Maybe buy a rope and tie it around some furniture if you need more space for clothes to hang.

[u/LetRevolutionary271 → u/zincboymc]

And a towel under the clothes so the floor doesnt get wet

If she really is going to stand guard in front of the washing machine 24/7 just wash your clothes at a Laundromat

[u/personthatisapersons → u/YouOpenedItIArrived]

How much is it now? Haven't been in a few years

[u/YouOpenedItIArrived → u/personthatisapersons]

I can't say for sure but not more than like $5 I would imagine

[u/Planeandaquariumgeek → u/personthatisapersons]

I actually run laundromats. At least where I am utility hikes have driven up prices a lot sadly. A washer will run you 5.25 at my spot and a dryer will run you 1.25, and a thing of soap will run you 1.00

[u/personthatisapersons → u/Planeandaquariumgeek]

Oh I see, thanks for the info

[u/Planeandaquariumgeek → u/personthatisapersons]

Yea, also it sounds like your mom is a complete nut job. Out of curiosity what country do you live in (unless it’s a country where state/provincial/whatever governments have autonomy like the US, Switzerland, etc. then tell me that)

[u/personthatisapersons → u/Planeandaquariumgeek]

I'm in the US, NY specifically

[u/Planeandaquariumgeek → u/personthatisapersons]

Ok, I’m guessing the prices there would probably be a bit lower because utility prices aren’t as insane as where I am

[u/personthatisapersons → u/Planeandaquariumgeek]

Ah okay, thanks

[u/CatScratchEther → u/personthatisapersons]

The next time you go out give it to a homeless man right off your back and tell her it's what Jesus would do

If you're too scared to do that u can save your quarters for laundry mats, ask a friend if u can use their machines once in a while, and know that you can always wash your smaller items in the bathroom and hang to dry :)

She cannot PHYSICALLY force you to wear the damn ugly thing
