Preach it.
My mother decided that she didn't want to spend very much money on us last Christmas, so we got pretty sh*tty gifts from her. She isn't poor, she just doesn't use the child support money my dad sends her on her children.
I know that I'm supposed to respect my parents no matter what, but it's just ridiculous how childish and mean she can be.
I think I have an explanation. The rich parents in town pay a HUGE sum of money for him to let their kids loose in his store, eating whatever they want, for, say, 15 minutes at a certain time everyday. Charlie would never be able to afford that, so he has to look in through the window.

At least my dad is calm and rational.
(Ha! Pun! But seriously. Poor Charlie.)
