[quote=Anonymous]Do you get your kids new everything each school year? New backpack, new lunch box, new water bottle, new clothes and shoes. etc. Name brand, designer or generic? New box of markers if the old ones are still good? Should we use the old markers at home and send a new set to school? What items do you reuse from the previous year and what items must be replaced? This is my first child, my first back to school and I'm from a disadvantaged background so I rarely had anything new as a kid. What's the norm for a regular UMC family in DC? When I was a kid it seemed like everyone else had new things all the time but it might just be my perception from being poor surrounded by UMC and rich kids. I don't necessarily want to spoil my kid but don't want them to stand out like I did either.[/quote]
