Ds and dd have mufti on Friday and as with every year they get picked on for not having hollister or superdry or addidas trainers.

Me and dh both earn under £15,000 and dc's go to school in a wealthy area. The dc's friends all live in private homes, in areas with prices £225,000 and £260,000 (the upmarket end of town). We have a council flat. Dc's friends all get iPhones, iPads, iPods, iMacs and ps4 for Xmas or birthday. They all have branded clothes.

Last mufti ds was teased because he had ankle swingers and tatty clothes. Me and dh just can't afford to my new ones even from supermarket.

I feel like I've let my children down Sad because I can't buy them things their friends have. But Aibu to think schools just allow mufti because it makes them money.

I'd be having words with the school - they need to stamp on it. Have you checked you're getting all you are entitled to ?
