Let's start off on the right foot here. You didn't express what you were trying to say in regards to the money your Mum spent. It is a lot of money if you don't have much. Your Mum's choice to spend it on you was her choice. Mum's do that. Mum's are mostly, the most unselfish and giving people on the Earth. As long as you appreciate her and tell her that you do, then you are doing your part as a good daughter! Maybe you can get a part time after school job somwhere to help with the next time she has to buy clothes-books-etc and ease the burden a little. Cheers 'love', SuziH |
