Sadly some people find money when they want something and plead poverty when it's for something other than luxury items for themselves. I can always remember when my sons were in primary school, we always paid full price for trips etc, some families paid subsidised prices, then there were the families that got everything free, but always had money for drink cigarettes, nights out, hair, nails, new clothes for themselves and holidays. Sadly there are lots of kids with greedy selfish parents, who will always put themselves first and the kids are left with whatever is left. If you can spend on yourself, you can pay for your kids and not expect everyone else to foot the bill. Let me make it clear, my issue is with parents who can find money for themselves, but not their kids
I think to those of us who actually value our children, we will do anything and everything for them. To a self obsessed greedy slapper, who basically had kids to secure a meal ticket, her kids are first and foremost there to benefit her
