Am I rude for telling it to my mom?

[Anonymous]

My sister said she ordered an original converse from her friend which cost about $4 and her friend said she would buy it in mall and its original like brand new and I just assume its not original so I told my mom it might be fake cuz original converse costs about $50-$100 My sister overheard it and called me bigmouth.

It doesn't sound like you had bad intentions, but a couple things to consider:

- Second-hand information about purchases can be unreliable, so it's best not to state assumptions as facts without confirming details directly with involved parties first.

- Even if you suspected they may be fake, discussing that with your mom behind your sister's back could undermine trust within the family dynamic.

- Directly telling your sister your concerns privately and respectfully would have been better than implying to your mom without her knowledge.

- Calling you names doesn't help the situation either, but it's understandable she may feel judged or embarrassed now.

In the future, it's best to:

- Discuss suspicions respectfully and privately with the directly involved person first before bringing others into it.

- Focus on understanding different perspectives rather than "proving" who's right - people value being heard more than criticized.

- Extend empathy - we've all made purchases we later learned more about. Maintaining caring rapport matters most.

- Seek to resolve issues respectfully through open communication rather than hurt feelings on either side.

Overall, intentions weren't bad, but approach and communication execution could have been handled more sensitively and privately in this case. Lesson learned - directly address concerns thoughtfully with involved parties.

If it cost her $4, it's definitely a fake set.
It's not rude to tell your mom, especially if she already knows about the shoes. But sisters will be sisters and she maybe felt embarrassed at you saying they were fakes

Why do you need original? Do you get feet cancer because of cheap ones? - No. They are all made in China anyways, so why wasting the money?

Because products that are orginal look better. Also China made are just not durable. The colot of shoes get removed in just a few wears plus it just look super fake.

So what? it's just shoes. Why would you care? I live cheap life and I always happy because I understand that some things in life are overrated and unnecessary. You will want new shoes in couple of months because you'll get bored.
