So this weekend happens to be one of the few that I get SS14 for the entire weekend. As in from Friday afternoon until late Sunday night. His BM is away so that's why. He does normally come over EVERY Sunday all day / night in addition to either sat or Friday night ( sat & Friday part alternates) Anyway, he dosent have meny clothes at our house bc whatever he wears over, he just puts on the next day. He only sleeps over 1 night per weekend. He does have a few things here but last night I had him go thru everything & throw out what dosent fit. Today we decided to go pick up a few new clothing items. He was all excited about this. We get to the store and he instantly finds a belt he likes- he said its just like the one his older brother has ( we all know how the younger boy wants to be like his big brother ) so we continued picking items, shorts, sandles , a few t shirts- everything was fine until he started looking at the prices. He says 'r those shorts really 45.00?' so I explained that everything was in sale plus I had coupons. I assured him that everything was a reasonable price. He still was saying things like you don't need to worry about me, or I get my clothes from home not from your house anyway so I really don't need much, I have plenty of clothes at home , why r you spending money on me and so on. This all happened after he started linking at price tags. Before that he was fine with everything. When he comes over the house he wears the same thing all the time & it's super unstylish. His mom dosent spend much if any time showing him what looks good or not and dosent really buy him stylish clothes at all- just whatever is cheepest at k-mart. That's fine and all but if I want to buy the kid something nice that's on sale (I'm talking 20 bucks for a pair of nice shirts here people) the poor kid shouldn't be doing guilt over money spent. I don't know if his mom complains about money allot or what but my SS totally shut down and I don't know why. I wasn't going overboard buying him a million things, I wasnt getting 100 dollar items- just a few things he needs and I feel bad that he can't just be happy about that. I told him he could take half the items home if he wanted & he was very reluctant. I wonder if he thinks his mom will be mad that I bought him something nice. I just don't get it. I don't know what goes on at his other home, but I feel bad that he can't just have a good time.
