Op,

This is where people were having problems with your post.  I did see your later posts where you are saying you couldn't afford it however, you sound really angry.  Why not sympathize with your children instead of being "fit to be tied"  What you could have said to them is "I wish I could spend $30 a week giving you ice cream every day but, we can only afford the camp"  Do you have any ideas that we can get some money for ice cream?  Perhaps they would then think of ways to make money to earn the ice cream treat?    Some ideas:

Helping a neighbor clean the steps or pull weeds?
sell any toys/books that they no longer need?
sell lemonade?

Or maybe they would be happy to have ice cream once or twice a week?  Or they could get one treat and share?  I also feel sorry for the poor kid who tried to be nice and got that letter telling him off.  Ii  hope things get better for you but, remember life is short and it is nice to have treats in the summer.  There is always a way![/quote]
