I'd take it.
I know how it feels being behind in bills we were bhind in mostnfnours for months and only just getting back on track.
I also know how it feels to be offered this sort of help, and it's really hard for me to accept.
But particularly in this case I'd jump at the offer as it means the girls uniforms will look like everyone elses iykwim? So they don't feel different?
hun, I would take it. These things can be expensive and I know at our school, we often let things slide and no parent is ever judged. We just let things slide because we do not want the children in anyway to miss out on an excursion or a text book or uniform. We want all the children to be included in things and not feel different. I promise you that they arent judging you, just trying to help out as your children and you are an important part of the school community.
I would accept it. There is no reason to feel bad about it. You said that it was hard for you to find the money to get that specific item and now an opportunity has presented itself where you can get it
You're all right, I know. I just have had a few handouts this year, including Vinnies etc, so I guess I feel now that DH is working we really don't deserve it any more.
I am going to take it, since in the same newsletter we also got our school photo order envelopes, I just kinda feel that its unfair that I recieve this now, when I have friends who are single mothers & they've managed to come up with the money for it iykwim. But then, they do only have one child at the school, so half the price. Now i've thought about it, I am very greatful they are doing this. It doesn't happen everywhere!
oh Clover dont feel bad at all. We all have times when we need a lil helping hand.I to struggle to get my boys their school ones. I have got them pants and shorts from BigW and they have only had 2 school tops for the past 1 1/2yrs only last term did i have enough to get them 2 more each. School ones are stupidly priced.I remember when i went to school my mum could buy the school logo so we would buy tops ect from bigW then just iron on the logo.Im surprised they dont give that option nowadays.It would help so many of us out. But then again it comes down to how much profit the school can make i guess
