GIVE DETAILS:

Here is why I asking. Tonight Stacy and her mom went to her sister’s, brother-in-law’s house (and two nephews) for dinner.

Roberta: “Where did you buy that blouse. At the 99 cent store”
Stacy: “Yes”
Stacy thought that was the end of the conversation. But right after Stacy cleaned up the dinner dishes (to help her sister) and came back out to the dining room the following conversation took place.
Roberta: “Why do you want to buy clothes at the 99 cent store. I mean you are not poor”
This got Stacy mad and she lashed out at her sister and her mom.
Roberta: “I am not attacking you I am just curious.”
Stacy: “But I like the clothes there. I don’t get the crappy ones and I get a lot of compliments”
Roberta: “But you don’t know who wore them before - they are used. I can see buying jewelry there, paper towels, purses”
Stacy: “I don’t care if someone else wore them I like them. And the ones I buy you cannot tell that they were someone else’s. And I rather buy them there then go to a department store and spend $28”
Mom: “Stacy has tons of clothes from the 99 cent store”
Roberta: “Stop yelling. So you are saying you rather have quality then quantity”
Stacy: “I only get the quality” Stacy was getting madder by the minute
Roberta: “Stop yelling. I am not putting it down I am just curious. I was just asking. All you had to say was the following ‘I like them and I prefer to shop at the 99 cent store‘ instead of going into major explanations”

Then they had a nice discussion. Roberta told Stacy that it really should not matter what other people think. That even though their mom and Roberta feel that they would never buy in the 99 cent store that doesn’t mean that Stacy should stop. And that even though Roberta does not like Macy’s there are people who shop in Macy’s that doesn’t meant these people are wrong for shopping at Macy’s. The same thing with the 99 cent store. That there are people who shop at the 99 cent store and like it. Roberta also said that if Stacy went to Sephora’s with Roberta and Roberta purchased a lot of lipstick Stacy would think that Roberta is crazy. But Roberta would not care because Roberta likes makeup. And also that their mom says plenty of things to Roberta but Roberta ignores their mom. because she does not care what the mom says.

Also Roberta told Stacy that Stacy always dresses nicely and Stacy likes clothes. When Stacy asked do you like this blouse. Her sister did say it was pretty but that is not the point, that Roberta is sure that Roberta has worn things that Stacy did not like, Stacy replied true" so it really is not important if Roberta likes it or not.

Stacy did tell her sister that her mom is a hypocrite because her mother accepted four blouses that Stacy purchased at the 99 cent store and her mom has come with her to the 99 cent store to look at the clothes. Her mother got defensive and said “I only wore one of the blouses you purchased, it had a ticket on it, and I never purchased anything there”
