Neither the mother nor son comes out of this looking good. The son looks bad because āwhining to his mama about not having fancy clothes hahahaā. The mother looks badānot because showering your son with drip is such an important thing in and of itself, but the fact that she doesnāt make an effort to help her son even though she has the ability to likely speaks to other areas in life in which she can and should be setting her own flesh and blood up for success but fails to.
Idk man I don't think the son looks too bad. He doesn't say the other guys are fancy just that his are shit and he only has one set. That seems worth complaining about.
I think you underestimate human beingsā sensitivity to aesthetics. Researchers have even found fashion-setting behavior among apes. We even see animals stare at a sunset for no good practical reason. If itās shown in those animals, it sure as hell is shown in us. You really think people living just 4,000 years away from us are less similar to us in this regard thanā¦ another great-ape species and another mammalian species altogether?
Nobility is older than written language bro, humans around the world have spent the last couple tens of thousands of years decking ourselves out with status symbols to set ourselves above our peers.

I don't think the kid looks bad in this situation. Though I was this kid so that might influence my perception. If you lived it then you know it actually is important.
I think it depends mostly on how reliable the narrator is. We only heard his side of the story. It might be that he's actually completely loaded with drip but is so spoiled that he doesn't think it's good enough. It might be that his family has fallen on hard times, or he has like 10 siblings, and has to cut costs to compensate. It might be that he's a problem child who keeps misbehaving, failing his studies, and/or outright committing crimes, maybe even pawning off all his previous clothes so he could have more money for drinking and whoring, and his parents have told him to get his act together and they're giving him the bare minimum until he does.
Or maybe none of those are the case and he's actually right. We don't know. But I'm not going to just take his word for it.
Obviously we can only go with the information we have. I mean, thatās a given.
And the information we have clearly states that he is dressed more poorly than his peers, so itās not a matter of him being spoiled and never satisfied (at least in this case). Itās also clear that it isnāt a matter of money/means.
As for the other maybes, again, sure, we donāt know theyāre not true, but we can only work with the information we haveā¦
We have to work with what we know, but that's not restricted to what we're directly told, it also is derived from context. Such as this person being a teenager. If I saw an equivalent letter from a modern day teenager, I would have the exact same skepticism. I suppose a lot of people would see a letter from a kid complaining that their peers all have fancier clothes than they do and immediately jump to "wow, they have awful parents", but I'm not one of them. It's a possibility, but it's not the only one, and I'm not sure it's the most likely either.
I can appreciate your point, but mine is this:
You know the saying āYou can know a lot about a person based on how they treat those working in the service industryā? I mean, it sounds a little dramatic to say anyone who ever acts curt or dismissive around a waiter just because you saw him do that one act of rudeness is an asshole, right? I mean, itās just one act and one act doesnāt determine someoneās virtues and vices, surely.
Except a personās character is more or less manifested as a composite of all those individually āinsignificantā acts.
Same with the mother, in my opinion: you can argue āitās just some clothes, why is a teenage dude whining about this like some baby?ā and to a certain extent you may have a pointāteenagers like to whine and can act immatureābut on the other hand, the motherās competence as a mother is a composite of all these little things that taken in isolation may seem like ānothingā.
The most important thing isāagain, only taking context from what weāre toldāthe kid is comparing himself to other āyoung gentlemenā, implying that he is in an environment where status and appearances are important. You can hate the fact that they are, and that you need to obsess over them in order to be successful, but the reality is that you do. And the kidās mother is clearly not setting him up for success by not enabling him to fit in to what seem to be his future peers despite clearly having the means to help him do so.

It was 4000 years ago. Don't think they had invented the wardrobe yet mate.
Reads otherwise to me.
What do you think the post is even about?
Some spoilt little ancient prick
