She didn't come up with it! I'm a lefty & I have a mug like that, too, only professionally made & decorated & bought at a gift shop. It is tricky since I occasionally drink my coffee right-handed but obviously not with that cup! Clever conversation piece. 👍
Damned straight!!! I have all kinds of wonky things my daughter has made me in school, and while they may not be "store material" she was hella proud of what she made me. Not too mention, always make a big show out of it. Puts it in a gift bag, or makes me close my eye's. I AM proud of how confident she is, and think if she stuck with it she would actually be AMAZING at painting and stuff. Haha this video hits home tho for sure! Also, LOVE the eye shadow!!
I have tons of crazy things my kids made. I still have a “soccer ball” that has cotton balls all over it, a flat piece of paper. It was made in pre K! My boys are 31 and 29!
"I get to keep this for the next 45 years so she can throw it out when I'm dead" I can't 😭😭 I almost choked to death on my sip of water while watching this 😂
"it's for left handed people... I'm not left handed" Me: well- that's ok just use ur left hand it can still work- "It's not water tight so the bottom leaks" Me: well that's a problem but I'm sure you can just put something on the bottom right-? "And she used toxic paint" Me: I give up just use it for pens
I have a beaded necklace my daughter made for me at camp when she was 10. She's almost 20 and she cried when she saw it in the trash. I was cleaning out my jewelry box and I thought it was safe to toss it. I'm here to tell you that it's never safe to toss one of their projects. The necklace is made with yarn and it is adorned with beads and pieces of cut straws. It hangs down past my navel. It's a hideous monstrosity that itches my neck because of the yarn. She told me that she's going to bury it with me. So I'll be stuck with it in my afterlife. It's safe to say if I have to take it with me when I die, I'll be in hell!
Dude same bc my cousin and i just went through a box of my dead aunts old xmas boxes (my cousin who is her daughter bought her house) and she threw out alot of the junk she made as a kid and we had like this exact conversation lol
I felt that in my ancestors souls. I literately did that. A 10 by what? And it’s filled with crayon draw…” no. I packed up all the “garbage” for my sister, tossed my “garbag” and I think I left with one tote of things I actually want, or want to hold on to fort 45 more years
My mother sends me these things as I get older w birthday gifts. It's a fun lil sentimental surprise w my birthday packages. I call her while I open them and we talk about em❤
My son would absolutely love it if I roasted him like this online. He’s a very unusual teenager. Or maybe not. I don’t know, I’m out of touch with this Gen Z situation.
I’ve got a rock that my daughter glued crepe paper on when she was in preschool for Father’s Day. My daughter is now 24 years old and that rock has been on my desk at school (I’m a teacher) ever since. I treasure it daily and tear up occasionally looking at it and remembering how proud she was when she gave it to me.
@@noxirs7059 She knows….she was in my high school class and asked if that was what she had given me and I told her all about it. It’s one of my most prized possessions….and all it is is just a rock with white and red crepe paper haphazardly glued on. 🥰🥰
As someone who threw out every scribble I ever scribbled on every napkin or receipt I ever found, when my mom died, this is correct 🤣 "You make me keep it? Ok fine. Be inconvenienced when I die."
"I get to keep it for 45 years..." My dad still has the bowl I made for him sitting on the desk in his bedroom. It's dusty and holds useless things, but it's always there when he does his bills.
She would not have been toxic if she didn’t ask permission to tell this story. Permission is needed is she had filmed her. This comment is a bit toxic, like you probably would have shamed her otherwise.
Yeah, because I’ve been the child who the story was being told about and it’s agonizing because it feels like my mother didn’t respect my privacy and that was just telling people at church, not thousands of people
@@TacosYBurritos8Peven if it is just a comment I think it would be nice to ask for consent, she's a public figure, meaning, thousands of people watch her videos and her daughter shows up in the videos too, I think it would be more for respect for her daughter for what she wants and don't want to share instead of just " sharing" a story because she's a mom, she's showing how to respect boundaries and that is very important
@@Garlic_Bread24601I believe she always gets permission and her daughter loves being involved. It sad that after creating so many of these and understanding the family dynamics that the disclaimer has to be added at all. If you think about it, the disclaimer is for those that would respond negatively assuming that she would tell this story without permission. Are really one of those people?
When my mom died a couple years ago i was amazed by the things she had kept from my childhood. It was sad but really heartwarming and showed how much she loved me
I understand your pain and I'm enduring that phase right now. Always makes me feel a lil better when I hear someone open up about going thru it too. Thank you.
Same. My mom kept three of my seventh grade art projects that she framed. She also still had a small souvenir picture of an elephant made from my thumb print when I was 7 or 8 years old...I actually had it made so she had a record of my prints in case I was kidnapped or in a really bad accident at school, lol. She died just before I turned 50. It's been really bittersweet finding my childhood "treasures".
I went through that recently with my grandma. She held on to so many drawings and pictures and keepsakes it made me burst into tears just thinking this showed how much I meant to her.
OMG, my parents haven't passed, but my mom is going decluttering. She gave my sister and I all our "art projects" back telling us to do something with these. 😂😂😂
This reminds me of the "beautiful" ashtray I made my grandma for Mother's Day. She didn't smoke... never had. I made my mom, who did smoke, a spoon rest for on top of the stove. She rarely cooked due to her work schedule, & I always ate at the home of the family who cared for me after school til 8pm. My grandma was always in the kitchen, whipping up something yummy. Lol, I guess I wasn't exactly the brightest bulb in the box!! 🙃
Gwen, these are the rare treasures that you will look back on and your heart will be filled to overflowing love and joy. I (age 60) have most of the treasures that my children and grandchildren have made for me. I keep them all safe in rubber totes in the basement. I swap them out every so often, and each time I do it brings a warm sensation of love that my "babes" put into each creation. Display it proudly. ❤
No, it's what some good moms do. There comes a point when for some of us, we must get rid of old school projects. There may be no more room to store, or mom may have mild to severe ocd and need a certain level of cleanliness and order. That doesn't make those moms not good moms. It makes them humans.
Can confirm. I saw something I made 15 years ago on a shelf the other day and when I asked my mom why she kept it, she answered "It meant a lot to you. So it means a lot to me."
As an adult whos parents kept things, I think its stupid. I don't get it. It didn't make me happy at all. It's a waste of space. Why are you keeping trash?
@@AnHeC did you feel that way when you were a child ? because if you did then what would have been the point of giving them the things you made? Maybe they gave more an appearance of acceptance , then a core feeling of it, I had a mom who said to me one time, that the reason why she thought I didn't like her was because she didn't keep a drawing that I made for her.... it couldn't have possibly been all the beatings though . So I understand your perspective. I'd guarentee you probably made some really cool things though, worth keeping, regardless of their ultimate intent💖
When my mom moved, she had a bunch of my old arts and crafts in a tote for me. It did bring me a sense of nostalgia and what I felt when I created it but nonetheless it did end up in the trash as neither of us had a use or want to display it.
Oh as an Art teacher and Potter, this was a guaranteed epic rant in my room. Glaze on the glaze table is Not tempera or acrylic paint and Do Not use water-based paint on functional pottery. I even had other teachers try to borrow expensive glaze as tempera. READ the label PLEASE.
@@Lord_LindaThePhilosopherthere’s a difference between physically being able to do it and being able to do it well. Anyone can pick up a guitar and play it and successfully make noise. If you want to make good noise tho you’re gonna need a lot of practice
