Dear Fonseca,
My ex-in-laws are trashing me. They say I don't have enough nutritious food in the house for my 8 and 9 year old daughters. They also say I spend too much money on the three of us getting our hair, nails and spray tans done. I told them that looking good is just as important as eating good. They disagree. They say I should spend more time feeding my daughters good food rather than getting them personal makeovers. I disagree. I think the personal makeovers are important and beneficial for their mental health. Do you think there's anything wrong with what I'm doing by spending more on makeovers than food? Who cares if they eat McDonald's several extra times a week? I think mental health is just as important as physical health or in this case looks are just as important as food at their young age. What do you think? Whose side are you on?
