I love all of this because I love seeing the day-to-day mundane realties of life with Amber (and I also love white trash drama). It's easier for Amber to refute a retelling of a particular event and put her own spin on it than it is for her to argue about this minutia.
One thing I loved in this screenshot dump was how you can consistently see how little she understands money. There's no budgeting in Amber's mind, and there's no sense that money should be spent on anything but her immediate needs and wants. She thinks that Destiny's stimulus money and the tax refund should be spent now-now-now on a vacation, even when it's explained to her that their car is about to fall apart. She gives D&D $300-- no earmarked for anything, ostensibly-- and then gets mad when it's spent on children at Christmas (and you know this is because she still thinks of herself as the poor little foster child at Christmas). She gives Destiny $20 and is surprised when it's spent on gas instead of being used as fun money. She has zero concept of how adults approach finances, and that's still true with the likes of Becky and Destiny are the basis for comparison. It's an incredibly low bar, and she still can't clear it.
I also really like that she gets mad that the kid D&D are caring for gets a birthday cake, but she didn't. No shit, Amber. Kids get cake on their birthday. Buy your own cake. She already looks like she ate the whole damn bakery-- or maybe she's just storing in her upper arms.
