My daughter and I both got stung by what I now see is Gympie Gympie. It truly is one of the most painful, long lasting experiences we never want to suffer from again. My thumb has a shimmery mark along the right side, which is a constant reminder. 😢
I have 4 children and I’m on an aged pension. I would never expect them to help me out financially. Maybe your mum could do what I do, work 9 hours a week to subsidise my money! It certainly helps me out.
