[quote=Anonymous]NP. For me it's not about the money but my DD is overweight  and I want her to learn to make good nutritional choices for herself. It's hard on her when everyone else at camp seems to get ice cream at the end of every day, but I don't want her to have ice cream from the ice cream truck every day.

OP, I grew up without having a lot of extra, and I certainly wasn't getting ice cream every day or even every week from the ice cream truck. My parents explained point-blank to us that we could not afford it, and along with that direct message maybe you need to talk to your children about pride, not borrowing or mooching, and making good choices. It's really hard on little kids,  and these are hard things for anyone to really absorb, so it's going to be a process. I'm also sure it makes you angry and upset that you are in a position where you have to make these rules for them; no doubt you would love to be able to provide them with ice cream every day. I know it's hard, and you have my sympathy.[/quote]
