Imagine sending your child to their other parent’s house, only for them to return in clothes that don’t fit, time and time again. This mom, who we’ll call Jane, is in that exact situation. Her 9-year-old son, Mark, keeps coming back from his dad’s house in clothes that are way too small, and Jane has had enough. So, she started taking pictures of Mark’s outfits before he leaves for his dad’s house and sending them to her ex, Joe. But is Jane being petty, or is she just trying to make sure her son is comfortable? Let’s dive into the story.

Jane is at her wit’s end with her ex, Joe, as their son Mark keeps coming back from his dad’s house in clothes that don’t fit. She’s started taking pictures of Mark’s outfits before he leaves and sending them to Joe, hoping he’ll return Mark in clothes that actually fit. But Joe has called her selfish and petty, refusing to take responsibility for the situation.
