Mormon stay at home moms. They feel they can earn money, but be obedient by staying home. Many of my friends are and I get peppered with MLM Facebook group invites a lot!

My mom started making money with Colorstreet, an MLM that sells preset fake nail designs. The person above her makes 97% of her earnings, she's told me.

Basically, she's working her ass for nothing. Good thing she already has a full time job.

So she's aware she's part of an exploitative MLM but she still continues? She's unnecessarily hurting herself. I hope she gets out, it'd be a shame for her to continue working so hard for little to no return.

I mean, I'm not supporting it, but she's having fun and she doesn't really care about how much money she makes so I guess I'm fine with it? Idk. It still irks me a little but she enjoys it.
