[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG; let me tell another poverty story.  when I was poor, we had a really small tv with bunny ears. We got 1 channel on good days and seriously, I was so skinny, people thought I had an eating disorder...and I did. It was called hunger.

[b]Donate the dammed stained t-shirts. Seriously, sometimes the other option is washing the one shirt every night.[/b]

If you want to live in a bubble and pretend that there isn't real poverty, please let me know how you do it b/c my f'ing guilt sometimes gets to me that I escaped and others didn't.[/quote]

I hear you, but I have a hard time doing so.  I dress my 7 yo daughter and 3 yo son in clothing that comes mostly from Target, Sears or TJ Maxx.  They look adorable in some of the outfits, and quite frankly, until they reach that age of "designer this and that" and start begging for better brands, a $3 tee from clearance is perfect.

IMO, it's not about spending hundreds; it's about looking presentable and feeling good.  I would rather donate something that costs less but that looks nice so that some kid (b/c we donate mainly to young ones) is happy in how s/he looks.
