to be annoyed at having to buy 2 nativity costumes when i really cannot afford it?

[pucca]

Dd and ds need nativity costumes, i am really rubbish at making anything like that so i am going to have to buy them.

The cheapest ones i can find are £25 for both which i cannot afford, but what else can i do? i don't want my kids to miss out or stand out in some montrosity i try to make.

I think the school should sort this out personally, its a total nightmare for parents who cannot afford it.

I prob am being unreasonable, but everything getting on top of me at moment, and it feels like it is just one thing after another

Agree woahwoah about it being worth it. I probably sounded really misserable about having to put on productions. Those few days when you put on the performance are really great - feel really proud of the children and they love it.

Grrr miserable (sorry, flicking between this and work and not concentrating)

A school would also have difficulty storing costumes for all the pupils.

Ask around other parents, I'm sure you can all mix and match bought costumes as well as t-shirts and trousers/tights/leggings.

We always find out who had a particular costume from the year before. Ds borrowed a king costume that had been going strong for years apparently!

Not sure what we'll be needing this year yet. Lucky you for having so much notice.

I know i am BU, just lots of little things amounting to one big thing at the moment.

Thanks to all for the advice

can you ask the school
dd is going to be the snow queen and I didn't have a clue.
costume is now being made at school
