Cest la vie:
If your concern is truly about chaval al hakessef, may I suggest a beautiful idea for you. If you frequent Boro Park, why don’t you ask your mother to go with you to a fine eatery called Masbia. They feed a hot meal to ANY Jewish person in need, in an upscale feel enabling them to not feel ashamed. There she will see how many people she can feed and make so incredibly happy for a quarter the price of a Prada. This realization will certainly cause a lightbulb to go off in your mother’s head.
