I never ask people about their financial situation, wether they have a mortgage or pay rent or how much they spend on food per week, etc. But so far today I have been criticised for buying my daughter a brand new maxi micro scooter for her Birthday in replacement for the one she had stollen it was kind of my fault few months ago. She couldn't get one for Christmas as we had already bought all her presents. Also I got criticised for giving her £5 to buy a book at her school book fair. Should I just point out that I have chosen to have only 1 child? That I don't spend money buying 'designer' clothes (yes with big labels on the outside to show off), for none of us? That I don't drive a car to cut costs? That I worked until I was 1 week due? That I went back to work when my child was 6 months and never stopped 6 years on? And also that I created my own business and have a part time some evenings too? Also I am quite frugal and go months without buying anything new. Rant over.
