Mom's Love Is for Everyone but Me
Every month, Mom gives me 400 dollars for living expenses. But it's not a simple transfer. No, there's a whole approval process involved.
Before I even see a single cent, I have to post an itemized breakdown in the family group chat—meal and drink costs, phone bills, and whether I've bought anything I shouldn't have.
When my older sister, Michele Judd, sees it, she sends a laughing-crying emoji.
"Are you sure he's in college? This is more like he's filing an expense report at work."
My younger brother, Mikey Judd, chimes in.
"Mom's only doing this for his own good. He grew up in a small town, so he is more prone to spending recklessly."
Mom doesn't scold them and just tags me directly.
