[quote=Anonymous]I have a hard time lending things to people and I've always taken very good care of my things. It was drilled into me as a kid that if my stuff got ruined or lost, we couldn't afford to replace it. I would get anxiety as a kid if a classmate asked to borrow my markers at school. Even in college, I HATED when my roommates asked to borrow my clothes. I had to scrimp and save money to buy my clothing so it meant a lot to me and I couldn't afford to replace a ruined item. With my own kids, I've tried to teach them to be generous within reason because it's good to be kind, and to take care of their things because it's a good life skill to have, rather than doing so out of fear of being unable to replace the item.
