Dp and I are away. There is a mum staying in the guest house with her two boys. We haven't talked apart from exchanging hellos in the breakfast room. The mother is single and works three jobs to provide for her family but barely is able to cover the bills. I know this as she was talking to another mum and dad staying.
Now this afternoon the mum and her boys were sat in the lounge and the boys were asking if they can take a trip on the boat. It just goes out in the sea for half hour for 2 each. The mum said that they only had enough spends left for dinner and the train home so they couldn't. She got her purse out to see if she had any extra but she didn't. The boys accepted this but the look of disappointment on the little ones face was so sad.
So i would like to just give the mum the money to take her kids out. It's only 6 and we have holiday money left so won't miss it. Besides, we are leaving later so we don't need it. I just remember when i was little and my mum didn't have money to do things like that.
