Very much middle class angst here as I am well aware that my children are fed, clothed, have a roof over their heads etc. They are not very "grabby" in terms of toys, gadgets etc and seem generally happy with their lot. But I just wish I could do more stuff with them! This weekend i know of friends whose dc are:
- going to see a sporting event in a nearby city (travel and ticket costs prohibitive)
- learning to climb at a climbing wall centre (as above )
- going to see a musical (as above!)
These are all different families obv!
Another has a piano exam...cos they bought a piano and can pay for lessons.
Yes I know they have valuable time spent with family and friends etc. But I'd just love to be able to do more of these things which I think they would really love!
