In a nutshell I cannot afford any activities outside of school. Swimming, gymnastics, brownies...all things they would like to do. They play instruments in school and I pay for this but that is as far as my budget stretches.
I feel terrible as all their friends do lots of activities. They do understand that we can’t afford it and say it’s ok, but I can see they are disappointed. I know swimming is important and I do try to take them and this year my oldest will go with school.
So my question is, are these things important?
