Budget for school supplies...

Philippines
April 24, 2013 10:56pm CST
Last night my husband asked me if I have extra money for my nieces and nephews school supplies because he knew that I am the one buying all the supplies they need yearly so that I can help my siblings even in a simple way. I told him that I have enough money for the school supplies and uniforms but my niece needs two pair of shoes since she going to be a freshmen this coming school year. I taught he's going to sleep when he told me "okey" but when he returned he gave me a white envelop with cash and told me " don't spend your money save it and use this for the school supplies, uniforms and shoes." I am very thankful to him because now I don't have any worries for this coming school year. Have a great day!

Quite a lucky lady for having such a very understanding husband! Not all husbands understand the situation you are into. Imagine supporting your relatives in that matter seems to be a common problem with other relationship I know. Blessings to your good heart as well.

It is very generous for your husband to give you money for your nieces and nephews school supplies and shoes. Your siblings must be very grateful that you help them out with these expenses each year. School supplies can get very expensive for parents to handle. Each year it seems the prices on these items go higher. I was shocked the other day when I went to an office supply store and saw the price of certain notebooks and filing cabinet supplies. It was awful! I truly don't know how parents deal with clothing children and getting them ready for school, especially at the start of the school year. It seems that schools are requiring that the children bring more supplies to school than they used to because of the cutbacks in the school budgets. When a couple has many children, it must be horribly difficult to pay for these supplies along with everything else they have to buy for their children.

My sibling can also but their children school supplies but I insisted to shoulder it because when I was studying my sisters did not stop helping me in paying my tuition fees. So it's my time to repay them.

Aww, that is so nice of you and your husband. Me and my husband also help out my parents for my siblings' school needs. The young ones are still in highschool, one is in 4th year and the other one is an incoming second year. It really feels good to be able to help out your family in any way you can.

I agree with you, it really feels good when you can able to help your family even in a simple way but mine, most of my nephews and nieces are just in grade school meaning there's a long way for us. Thanks

That is very sweet of your husband to give you money. Now that you have extra money to do what you want to do. I know that with my online earnings I use the money to pay for classes I want to take at the craft stores, but last month my husband Randy paid for my classes and bought me the necessary supplies. I love it when Randy does something nice and special for me.

That is very sweet and thoughtful for your husband to give you money for the school supplies needed. Maybe you can repay him by cooking a special meal tonight or maybe a massage . Im sure he'll appreciate it and he might give you another envelope of money for your own shopping needs! Just kidding

I made him special snack this afternoon and he really liked. Usually he's not giving me an envelop for my own shopping instead he shop with me and I can get anything I want. Thanks

Actually my sibling helped me until I finished college and not it's my turn to help their kids in my own simple way. I am just hoping that they will study hard and fulfill their dreams in life. Thanks
