I coat chicken peices like the boneless ones from KFC, heaps nicer, cheaper and we get heaps more for $10 than at KFC!!! I make them nice and herby....
I haven't taken the kids to the movies in YEARS... but they seem to have a lot of birthday parties at the movies, bowling, play centres, anyway....
The kids get all their school pencils, pens, glues etc at christmas in their stockings, all from the reject shop...
My eldest went to two birthday parties in a row a few weeks back...one was an extremely well off family, one was very obviously not. Pretty much the same kids were at both parties. And all the kids loved both. No one at all cared about the "money" crap. They seem to mix just fine.
I truley believe that kids really just dont care about who has what. Not until they hit the "I want, I want" years anyway!!
I was feeding Harmony, and daydreaming a bit, and I realised that even if I had money, my kids would be no different than now. They would have no more things, or more time, or more food or love.
Now for me and Ad, things would be a LOT easier. But would the kids even know the diffence if Ad bought home a few extra grand??? I doubt it.... It wouldn't change how I raise my kids, thats for sure!!
