My mom is going through hard times financially and with school starting this monday I know that we can only get the necessities. I have old pencils and pens from years before so my mom doesn’t want to get anymore but I having new pens and pencils to start school with is one of those things that really makes me happy (I’m easy to please lol). So my question is do you think that it is disrespectful if I use my own money to buy some new pens and pencils. I am just worried that it will make my mom feel bad
I just worry that it will make her feel bad because I know that if I had to tell my kids that we couldn’t afford some new $2.50 pens and pencils I would feel like crap… And I would survive without new stuff its just one of those silly things that make me happy.
