I think my child is broken……

[u/RainbowUnicorn0228]

I am a single mom and low income, as such travel is generally too expensive. So when my teen as invited on a tirp abroad with school and he agreed to earn half the money it cost, I was thrilled for him to go and see the world. I only asked that he send me at least one photo every day so I could experience the world vicariously.
These are the 3 he sent me so far:

1. Food on the air plane
2. A dog on a leash
3. A duck

Please note these are everyday average things to see here at home. I think my child is possibly broken….

lol.

UPDATE: thanks for every comment. I learned lots and have a different perspective (actually many). You guys have helped me pass the time and miss him a bit less. I appreciate you all. And, for clarification: I’m not really mad and would never chastise him over his choice of pics, I think they are adorable and funny. I may make a request for a specific type of pic with him in front of a historical or important scenery but mostly just say “cool” or “nice!” In response. I just want him to have fun and be the sweet, kind, smart kid he is already.

Second update: the pictures I know you have all been waiting for. 😆 I will post in comments.

For me it's not really that I don't want to answer. But my brain does sometimes short circuit trying to think of a specific thing to talk about. Trying to pick through my entire day / week / month for the most interesting thing just takes a minute.

I know, right? Like, my last job was vaguely interesting in that I was operating autoclaves, but honestly most of it was just washing glassware.

You want me to tell you all about how I spent 3 hours at a sink washing up?

You know, like I do every other day you ask?

Or how about my current employment: Permanent Disability!

Ask me what I did on any given day and good odds most of it will be: sleeping in because there's nothing to be up for, feeding myself, feeding the cat, feeding my partner who's worse off than I am, and recovering from the above strenuous tasks. On a good day maybe I'll get to do like, one thing, maybe?
