[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was LMC, so not food insecure, but it struck me when my kids were picking out clothes for their first day of school how they have sooooo many material things. I was terribly insecure (and still am) since I never felt like I had the right clothes. My kids are much more confident - may just be their personalities - but I was appreciating that they'll probably never be embarrassed that their mom buys them a knock-off version of the latest fad, and they have to wear it or her feelings will be hurt (coca-cola shirt with no logo, anyone?) [/quote] Same and yes, I totally had he Coca Cola rugby shirt with the popped collar with no logo on it! But my DH grew up similarly strapped for cash and our running joke to our kids is that they get brand name clothes/sneakers/food and not the “Grampions” (aka “Champions” knock off) sweatshirt daddy had to wear as a kid!
