How is it not clearly intended for her parents?

Well, it’s midnight and my brain is fried and I wasn’t sure what else to title this.

I'd assume it was supposed to be for your grandparents (her parents)

NoItsBecky_127 OP t1_itohq6k wrote

I suppose, but that begs the question of why she wouldn’t just talk to them. Though I suppose being in Hebrew school implies she was less than 13, and tweens aren’t known for stellar communication skills. Alright, just answered my own question.

Seeing the whole sending-them-to-a-religious-institution-forcefully thing I doubt their relationship was that healthy

It was Hebrew school. For her bat mitzvah. It’s not that deep. My grandparents are wonderful people, and I’ve never gotten any indication their relationship with my mother is anything but loving.

This is Reddit anyone that does anything more religious than saying Oh My God when shocked is a brainwashed abuser.

You're right. We shouldn't pass any values, traditions, religion, or culture down to our children. We should let the internet raise them.

Jackass.

Valid points here.. I also do not want to go to any type of after- school-school. It’s times for some cheese slices you’ve been storing under your bed and a little Arthur.

I have a feeling that she still had to go to Hebrew school after her parents read the note.

Yeah, in SPITE of the parenting I imagine

I have known my mother and grandparents for nearly eighteen years. You know them by proxy through a single note written by a tween girl forty years ago. You don’t know shit about my family. Don’t pretend you do.

I feel like I could have written this exact note in the 90s

That seems like unusual handwriting for the 70s.

How so?

It's not cursive, the paper isn't aged, the ink seems modern and isn't faded and hasn't bled into the paper...

NoItsBecky_127 OP t1_itpga74 wrote

How many 12-year-old girls want to write in cursive? Also, they had pens in the 70s.

Nasal_Cilia t1_itowtgk wrote

This really doesn't look like it comes from the 1970s, so next time you might want to either provide more visual context to indicate its nature as a 62 year old artifact or fake that same visual context and then include that, but as it currently is this is unconvincing.

NoItsBecky_127 OP t1_itpr3yw wrote

Why would I lie about this? What would I gain from pretending my mother wrote a note at age 11 or 12 saying she didn’t want to go to Hebrew school? Is that what people are doing now? Faking old notes from their parents as children?

I’m screaming. She says provide a more visual context. What are you supposed to do, take a picture with an old camera? It’s a high definition camera taking a picture of a paper. The lack of perspective is rather concerning.
