Cheap parents

[5 Little Monkeys]

I do have to admit, gifts are nice. However, a gift not at a holiday means more to me than a Christmas gift. But those who don't give gifts don't mean it as an insult I don't think?

One of my past single moms gave a small angel ornament one year that looked like it might have been regifted or from the dollar store and because I knew money was tight, I appreciated it very much even though it was something I didn't like. When they left my care, the grandma (who was very involved) and mom wrote 2 beautiful messages in a card and gave a $50 gift card (by leaving, mom saved $560 a month!!) I still read that card monthly!!

I get that gifts are nice but like mentioned above, I try not too expect one.
