For the last money bought a warm coat, decided to brag about the new daughter, and she just got angry.

3 years have passed since Valentina Alexandrovna retired. And although due to the current financial situation, she is forced to limit herself, nevertheless, buying a coat can not take long. To her annoying surprise, coming to her daughter in a new dress, the woman had to listen to unpleasant words.



The son and daughter of Valentina Alexandrovna live separately with their families. She tries to live in such a way as to help children as much as possible and not to strain them with her problems. From time to time, she prepares some homemade treats or pies for her grandchildren. As far as possible, they save money for their children. Not much will happen, and her help may come in handy.



However, in the summer, Valentina Alexandrovna had to spend all her reserves, as she got to the hospital. And now that the cold is near, it is time to think about earnings. So she decided to rent out the room.

Fortunately, her friend’s niece was looking for inexpensive housing, and Valentina Alexandrovna adopted a girl. She took 5,000 rubles from her. That was quite enough. The apartment was very decent. She spent the whole day at the university, and on weekends she went to visit her relatives in the village. And it got a little more fun at home, and there was more food in the fridge.



The other day my daughter called and asked me to borrow money before the paycheck. But Valentina Alexandrovna just shrugged her shoulders. She already spent everything on utilities and food supplies. She just has nothing to give. My daughter thanked me and told me she was going to last a week.

The next day, the tenant paid for the room. She paid earlier this month because she's leaving town for a few days. So for Valentina Alexandrovna, this money was a surprise.



She just remembered that she urgently needed a new winter coat. The old has long been broken, and the opportunity to buy a new one has not yet been presented. So Valentina Alexandrovna quickly gathered and went to look for clothes.



A day later, she visited her daughter. She began to spin in front of her in a new robe and asked if it suited her. My daughter’s reaction was completely unexpected. Instead of rejoicing for her mother, she accused her of being selfish. She doesn’t care about her family and is sorry for the money.



Valentina Alexandrovna returned home very soon. The depressed woman did not understand why she was treated this way. It turns out she can't even buy herself clothes with a clear conscience. Because others will need that money. But she handles everything herself and asks nothing from anyone. Why can't everyone else do that?

Did Valentina Alexandrovna do the right thing that she did not postpone the purchase of a coat? What does this daughter's reaction to updating her mother's wardrobe say? Should we always try to please others?
