mostly lovely answers, but I got slammed by a couple, one for "ruining my life" and another because since I can;t afford to put minutes on my phone card it means I am unfit to be a mother of three children.
I would happily classify myself as poor, but, My family has full bellies, a roof over their heads, and clothes that fit them. We are not getting welfare or food stamps or medical assistance. My children have love bursting out of their ears at every turn, but they don;t have the latest gadget or the newest doll that pisses her pants when you tug on her ear.
In my opinion, a child needs only what they NEED and occasionally what they want. Time and attention are more important than spending 600 dollars on toys and the latest clothes.
Am I alone in thinking this way or do other people feel this way to?
