Im fed up with my babysitter criticising me about how little i have spent on my 2 kids 4 xmas? |
I have 2 children aged 1 and 2. I have a very low income and find it hard to save more than 拢20 a week without us all going without.. I am totally skint! I have brought them a bike/trike each and many other little bits! But according to the babysitter i should spend every bit of spare money on them, after my weekly bills are paid, i have 拢50 left to get food, nappies and clothe us with. It is not possible to buy anything else. Of course i want whats best for my kids, but until i get a better job, im stuck....should i just listen to her run on or tell her to drop it, i cant fall out with her cuz shes the only person i have to babysit when im at work and she has helped me out a lot! I jest feel like such a bad mum coz of what she says. What should i do?? You are doing the best for them and it sounds like they are going to have a great Christmas! You want what's best for your kids and what's best is a mum that loves them and that sound like you. If you were to spend 拢5000, 拢500, 拢50 or 拢5 on your children or shopped at Hamleys or the Charity shop - do you think they would have an opinion on the gift? No! They will love whatever you give them. They are 1 and 2 - probably the bow and paper will be the main entertainment! Buy no more than you already have. You know your limits and you should stick to them. At the end of the day - would you rather have them fed and clean without worry for the next month or give them a toy that will probably lie unplayed with for the sake of trying to keep up with another adult's silly comments? Tell her you could afford more if you dropped her wages!! It's not her job to put in her opinion about personal matters. You are a good mum, you love your kids and you're doing what you know is ideal for them. Even with a better job do you think that would alter your mothering skills? No, of course not. A child's true happiness is fuelled by what comes from the parent's heart not their wallet and I bet your kids are truely happy. I hope you have an amazing Christmas Day and a greaat 2007.x tell her to shut it. You pay her to babysit not give opinions on what you spend. Cheeky b!tch it doesn't make you a bad mum, you sound like a great mum. instead of spending money you dont have on sh!t at xmas, you are making sure you can provide what they really need like food and nappies. It sounds to me like you are doing a great job! For heavens sake they are just babies, they will be so happy with what your giving them. Do your best to ignore your babysitter, as you say you need her so its best not to risk falling out. It's absolutely none of her business. Do want you think is best for your kids within your budget. You should definitely not feel like a bad Mum. no! a bike is SUCH a cool gift - ignore her - for your income they will be soooooo happy to have a bike!! change your babysitter!! she has no idea what it's like - kids get so much for christmas - the more you give them the more they expect - at least you're not just giving them a piece of coal and an orange!! Tell her to feel free to buy those things that you cannot. That should shut her up. You sound like a wise woman and a good mother. Merry Christmas. |
