Sister and her husband are comfortable, can't really tell how much so and don't really think about it, my mum seems to think they're loaded. I'm a lone parent and struggle, but I'm resourceful and there's always food on the table.
Recently, ds got prescribed some coloured lenses for his visual stress, but as they're not available on the NHS, I need to fork out £200 odd for them. It will be a struggle but I will manage it, and consdering they increase his reading speed by over 50%, the cost is in some ways not the issue.
My mum spoke to my sister about it, and I'm pretty sure she was hinting at sis to help (which really irritates me). Sis said that she would gladly offer to pay for half of it but that the last time she offered to buy some bedroom furniture for my ds, I made excuses/declined, and she didn't want to embarass me by offering again.
My mum has gone off on one, saying I should put my pride aside as it's for DS, and that this is what family does for each other, I would do the same for her etc. But my mum does have a sense of entitlement which really does bug me and puts me off accepting help even more.
AIBU for not wanting sis to help? If it came down to it, and it was a choice of no glasses or accepting help, then I would take the offer, but my mum's way of thinking, is why should I struggle to pay for it when sis has it to spare.
