We are really struggling at the moment due to the time of year and DH?s hours been cut back at work.
We have scrimped together every penny to buy the DC a few small Christmas presents.
A distant relative sent me £30 in a card for the DC. Usually when this happens I give it out to the DC and they fritter it away on sweets etc. But as we are struggling so much this year I was thinking of keeping the money because it would help us hugely and mean we can buy a few treats for everyone for Xmas and the children already have presents from us and will gets loads from friends and family over the Christmas period
Trouble is I feel like it?s really wrong! Am I stealing from my children? I am so torn!
Ahh what do I do??

If you tell me IABU I won't do it, do I take DC's money?
