My partner was even like “what the
duck”
I honestly don’t know how she can think it’s completely OK… gives it all the “we make sure everything goes within our budget”, pleads poverty makes sure she gets free meals for her kids… Yet spends 100s of pounds in short time spans on Disney trips… I myself don’t even understand it
I’ve lost so much respect for her.
I think that’s the problem right? None of us understand it, spending so much on herself.
Your priorities when you have 5 kids should be entirely for them first. Especially when you don’t have much money at all.
having to use klarna to pay for kids birthday presents means you shouldn’t be blowing a load of money on DLP and a disney cruise for yourself.
She might argue it was only a few hundred quid.
But it isn’t just that. It’s depriving your children of an extra few treats, or a special item of clothing, or a few good days out.
she could have taken the kids away for a weekend in the U.K. somewhere cheap with that money but instead her desperation to go to disney being pushed by her enabling Essex friend means she blows it selfishly on herself instead and leaves the kids eating free food from Tesco cafe and stuck in a tiny flat for the entire time.
