SECOND PART): tonight at dinner Stacy wanted to clear things up since what her mother sad bothered her. Stacy asked her mother “Did you mean plenty” Her mother replied “No -but there are some that are in bad shape.” Then about an hour after dinner Stacy said “Mom how much is some” Mom “I don’t know . All I know is you wore a couple that were worn. You may have none or you may have a lot. Go thru your closet” MY QUESTION: (1)So what do you think of what her mother said now? And (2) Can Stacy finally accept the above response from her mother is what her mother truly meant?
(FIRST PART OF THE STORY) More of Stacy: Stacy as you know Stacy brought beautiful sweaters from the 99 cent store. However, since she has tons of clothes in her closet as well in her dresser drawers she could not hang up or fold the sweaters so Stacy had to hang the sweaters on the hooks near the closet doors in her bedroom. Any way her mom said that she would make room for Stacy in the den closet so Stacy could put them in the den closet. Then right after Stacy’s mom made room her mom said “You know Stacy you are going to get mad, but give away whatever you don’t wear” Stacy “I wear everything” Stacy’s mom said “There are people who are poor” This got Stacy mad at her mother because Stacy loves clothes and loves her clothes and refuses to give away. Stacy’s mom “You have sweaters that are pilled (pulled) You know those little fuzz balls that come after a clothing item starts to wear out.” Stacy got mad at her mom. And of course they said things to one another. Her mother said “You have plenty that are pilled/pulled” Stacy said “ I do not” Her mother said “Well not plenty, but some.” ”Later on when they were calm Stacy’s mom said “Do you want to take back that red blouse that you just brought at Kohls - look at all the beautiful things you brought at the 99 cent store.” Stacy said “Maybe. Listen since we are talking about this “Are you saying plenty, or some” Her mother said “Some Also you have pants that are out of style” Stacy said “I do not have any pants that are out of style” Her mother “I know you don’t - I just said that to annoy you” Then Stacy said to her “ I never know what to believe, you change your answers, you lie” And of course her mother denied this. Then right after dinner: Stacy said “Mom are you saying plenty or some” Her mother said “Some, you have some sweaters that are not in great shape.” Stacy “How many are you saying is some” Her mother said “I don’t know I have no idea what you have in your closet, but go over them - people give away things in bad shape. I know you wore a sweater the other day that was pilled but I don’t know which sweater it was. You have all those new things” Stacy “Are you saying all my old things are no good” Mom “No, what I am saying is give away things that are in bad shape” Stacy stued for awhile and then came back and said to her mom “It sounds like you are saying all my old things are terrible, the sweater I have on is old and it isn’t pilled” Her mother “Yes the sweater you have on is beautiful. No I am not saying that. You have all these new things that you brought so why should you wear things that are pilled”. MY QUESTION: So how do you interpret what her mom said and do you think Stacy is overreacting and if so why and if not why not

After you read parts one and two - would you say as your final answer that Stacy can accept "I haVe no idea how many are worn, you might have one or two or a lot or none" as her moms final answer" and Stacy should ignore everything else her mom said

I think Stacy is overreacting. Telling someone that some of her sweaters are too worn is not a personal attack. Sweaters get pilled in places like the under-arm area where the person wearing it would not necessarily notice. Plus if she has too many sweaters, it could help if she went through and checked to see if any are getting old. Maybe her mom is trying to help her manage her wardrobe. Her mom just probably thinks she wants to look nice, so she should focus her wardrobe on things that don't look all raggedy. Again, her mom doesn't sound like she's trying to hurt Stacy's feelings. She sounds like she's trying to help.
Now if the mom is all passive-aggressive all the time, trying to manipulate Stacy, then i might reconsider. But I don't think it's worth it to get all bent out of shape because someone thought some (no one said 'all') of her clothes are looking shabby. Stacy should try not to put so much of her own self-worth into how her wardrobe looks.

Stacy should act upon the instructions of her mom. Stocky should give away superfous clothes and other items of use to poor people who cannot affordd to buy. Stacy was indeed spendthift and she should not have purchased so much clothes which could not find place in closet. Stacy was really overacting.
