This enrages me, not because of your mom but the fact that it seems like you both have no support whatsoever. There is zero reason for you both to be struggling this much and i am so sorry. I hope you are able to get a new pair of shoes soon. If you can go to your school nurse and explain the situation. They may be able to help you and hopefully be discreet about it

I mean, if she's worth the hassle to you, tell her friend it genuinely was a typo...or find a way to send her a message to apologize and let her know you don't view her that way. I'd go as far as making another profile if it was someone I really cared for. I'd want to help them through their insecurities. Eventually, I'd try to gently point out that assuming it was intentional and not a typo was a bit irrational... Maybe they don't realize the extent of their paranoia due to insecurity.

Yeah, I totally understand! I’m responsible for making sure things are cleaned up at home. But I slack off sometimes becuase let’s face it, I’m tired and the place gets exactly how my daughter likes it and she loves it! I mean, toys everywhere, stuffed animals in a big pile, building blocks and little stacking toys just everywhere. Well, eventually she trips over some silly toy and cries. I get the energy to console her, clean up the toys, and put everything away, she gets pissed! I mean she screams, whines, and throws a little tantrum. Even worse, no matter how many times I clean up, she gets angry every time.

When I read this post I thought to myself, if my daughter could write a Reddit post, it would go something like this. So I totally understand. I see this kind of thing daily!

But you intended something to happen. Rather than going to the person directly and talking to her. You went over her head. There is a chain of command in any job. If you ignore it. The only possible outcome was fire/ write up. You knew what you did. You reap what you sow.
