Dude, I won’t downvote you because clearly you’re in denial and I feel bad for you. But your mom has a problem. Please get her some help.

With all due respect, you don’t know my household/ situation. They were $15 bucks so she brought them home. This post was supposed to be light hearted.

Buying things you have no need or use for, for no other reason than because they are on sale, is a compulsive shopping issue. The thing about reddit is that we're all strangers but we're strangers from all walks of life and diverse fields of study and employment. A lot of us don't know what we're talking about but a lot of us do. It might not seem bad now, hell it might not ever get worse than this. We don't know because we aren't her doctor. But the point is that you should at least talk to her about it and she should at least talk to a professional about it. This is a sign of a potentially serious issue.
