Woman demands her artist neighbor gift her a free custom portrait for Mother’s Day, insisting it’s her right as a mom: ‘You should want to make moms happy, it's not like you're selling a car’

Nothing shows your support for local artists like the expectation that their time and talent should be handed out as a freebie for anyone who's ever attended a school pickup or survived a birthday party sleepover. Barley, next-door's reigning mother of entitlement, doesn't just hint at a neighborly discount—she storms straight into the territory of "art should be a public service, especially for moms." With Mother's Day looming, she spins a tale of maternal sacrifice, positioning herself as the deserving recipient of an unpaid, custom-made family portrait, because, naturally, motherhood trumps a fair wage and personal boundaries.

Her sales pitch revolves around the idea that commissioning art for free is suddenly a noble act of community uplift, as though any fee attached to a creative endeavor is a personal attack on all mothers everywhere. The suggestion is clear: by charging for your work, you must secretly despise both children and maternal happiness. Never mind that artists, too, have bills, ambitions, and only so many hours to barter for exposure and neighborly approval.
