So the bra mom wanted to order arrived and I brought them to her today. She went and tried one on and was full of complaints. Too loose here, too tight there, and what's with the foam in the cups???
And we're back to square one in trying to find "something she likes."
We looked and looked. She didn't want this, didn't like that, are you sure there's no foam in that one?
I try to be patient, but she doesn't make it easy. It isn't for me to decide what she should wear, or what feels good on her. I just try to help make suggestions.
Sadly, she's at that point in life where what she wants is the familiar. I other words, the bra she's probably been wearing for years (and years). She didnt buy new ones, she just repaired or added extenders as needed.
Theres a whole generation of what I callnthe throw away gen. There's mom on the other extreme of using, fixing, repairing, until nothing is left. I hope I'm more in the middle, not tossing after a single use, but not holding on for 10+ years because I can. That's how she ended up with 52 dish towels when we cleaned out her house!
