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. 👍
I think the nature of their relationship is that sassy and sarcastic yet open and loving is their communication style. I feel like when your relationship with your kids is solid you can jokingly tell them all the things that are wrong with their project, but then also tell them that you will cherish it forever and they get it.
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
"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 😂
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!
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’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. 🥰🥰
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.
"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 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.
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."
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?
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. ❤
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. 😂😂😂
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❤
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.
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!! 🙃
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.
My kids are like, “mom, throw that crap away!!!” And I’m the one like, “Noooo, I must keep this for the next 44 years, you can throw it out when I’m dead!” 😂😂😂😂
My mom is the same 😂 there are pictures on the wall from when I was in kindergarten, I'm in highschool now and I'm the oldest so you'd think she would make more room for my siblings
as a recently joined member of the dead mom club who has been going through her house with my older sister, "I get to keep this for the next 45 years, so she can throw it out when I'm dead" took me OUT it's so true 😭
@@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
The humor and inside jokes you will have for the next 45 years... And for her to share with her kids (if any). The mug shall be a forever reminder of how much her parents loved her. Not gonna lie, wish I had even one parent like you ❤ great job.
My mom still uses a little trinket dish I made in 3rd grade (so at like 7 y/o) for her jewellery and has tons of other items I made in that after school clay working group all over the house haha
Me and your mom sound like besties material. My daughter told me she was working on a plate for art and she was going to paint flowers on it, and use all my favorite colors, we discussed her progress everyday.....and then she broke my heart when she said she didn't like it and through it away when cleaning out her locker...talk about giving me a case of art project blue balls .. I was devastated 😂... she of course thought I was nuts.... which I probably am.
My mom moved house when I was in my 30s. The first thing I noticed in her new kitchen was some pottery abomination I made in high school. I've been trying to get her to throw it out from the literal day I brought it home. 🤯
As a leftie with the rest of my family being righties, this is a good design- my mom will no longer be allowed to steal my drinks whenever I set them down
I think the best part of being left handed Is anything that has a handle i put in the fridge i know if someone touched it cuz they never turn the handle to the left when they put it in with their right hand 😂 my family still not sure how I know when they touched my stuff, and I'll never tell em rofl
I like how the bandaid matches your eyeshadow, your eyeshadow matches the mug, and the mug also matches your lipstick. Yes I watched this enough times to notice all of that 😅
This mom at least asks her kids for permission to share shit. My mommy Dearest never did and as such I am emotionally scarred permanently. #momgoals #inspiring
So you are consciously aware of your emotional scarring but you think it's permanent. If this was subconscious I would probably agree with you. But you're obviously aware of your issues and instead of choosing to get help in some way you are choosing to say they're permanent which means you're choosing to stay emotionally scarred by choice. I'm not trying to be an ass but you really should find help if you are aware of your issues. What's that thing people say the first step in solving your problems is in admitting you have them.
@@ajwest5569 they said it was permanent which means they have the mindset that even if they got help it wouldn't work. Things that are permanent don't go away. There are diseases and illnesses that are considered permanent meaning there is nothing medically we can do for you. That person is climbing that they're emotional scarring is permanent meaning they're saying there's nothing anyone can do about it. The problem is that's not how that works for emotional issues, with therapy maybe some medication people can get better if you're assuming that you can't get better then that's when you know you can't get better. When someone's stating that their problems are permanent they're stating that they're giving up on ever trying to solve them because you can't solve a permanent problem. If you could the word permanent wouldn't be justified and being used.
@@Grimjr7 Emotional scarring IS permanent, all therapy and associated resources does is help you manage and mitigate its effects. But you don't care for accuracy, do you, you just came in to lecture from your high horse?
