Request for understanding

Desiree:

In my endless quest to better understand my adversaries, and people who
make no sense, I ask you to please explain to me how you justify letting
your children run around in worn out, torn, coming apart shoes when you
make $70,000 a year and the child in question even has an expense account,
provided by me, to cover things like clothing?

When Gabriel arrived here he was wearing the same Converse shoes I got him
in December and there was a huge rip on the side of one of them.  I asked
him if you'd taken him clothes shopping at all since January and he said no.

Since it's not a matter of finances, just how do you rationalize such
negligence on your part?

By the way, the very first thing we did when he got off the plane, even
before going home, was to stop at a shoe store and get him new shoes.
Unlike you, I'm embarrassed to be out in public with my child dressed like
a ghetto recipient.  You should be ashamed of yourself.  Your a complete
disgrace and utter failure as a parent.

That's all.
