I feel so embarrassed ...
It was DDs 8th birthday on Friday and two of her friends have birthdays the same week so yesterday we arranged to meet a couple of her friends and their parents at a local attraction (within the rule of 6).
The girls exchanged cards and each of them had money inside. I had given both other girls £5 each along with some sweeties.
My DD received £10 from both of her friends 😳 .
My DD thanked them and nothing was said by either children or parents but I feel very guilty.
For context , one child’s parents are in high flying jobs, the other is mid income and I am very low income.
Would you be bothered if this was your child? I can’t shake the shame !
