My girls school changed uniforms at the start of the year. While they have the standard uniform from Big W, they do not have the uniform with the logo as yet. We are working on it now DH is working, but we have alot more important bills we are trying to catch up on first. Rent, water bill, school fee's & we still haven't paid for the school swimming scheme they did back in March.
Right now the logo on the uniforms is far from priority.
Well today the school has sent a note home with DD1 saying the P & C has decided to provide a free pack of 2 shirts & a jumper to each of them.
I feel like, wow, I'd love that! One less thing for us to worry about, but at the same time, I feel like I shouldn't accept. I know they wouldn't offer for no reason & I'm sure they are offering to others, but I feel a bit odd about it. I wasn't in the best mood when reading it after a fight with DD1 & almost said they can shove it, feeling slightly judged for being too broke at the moment, but I highly doubt thats the reason this has been offered.
I also feel upset & guilty that its come to this. Like I should be able to provide for my own kids without help I've felt bad since the start of the year & they know I'm having problems, coz I've ordered & cancelled our order before.
Why do I feel like this? They've sent it saying to return the slip only if you DO NOT want to take part in this offer, so I kind of see it as they are trying to help people, but they don't want to make a huge deal about it I guess. Or they don't want other parents to know maybe. I dunno. I guess I should be greatful. I am greatful, I just feel like crap having to be given this offer iykwim...
