Letter: Mom's priorities are all wrong

Jennifer Scott was quoted as saying that her "kids have been brought up wearing name-brand shoes" and that "if they want something ... I get it this month or the next month."

She works 65 hours a week and two jobs to accomplish that for her three kids. I cringed at the thought of a mother thinking that useless gestures like that can be a replacement for spending as much time as possible with your children.

I bet her kids would prefer her being around to stupid brand-name shoes. She's got it all wrong.
