Purchasing Power

Number 4 got RM5 from her uncle this morning. My younger brother visited us and gave some pocket money for her school. This amount is way higher tham her usual RM2. She returned with an additional seaweed snack for Number 5. Bless her wonderful soul. Things are not perfect with me now but at least my daughter remembered her sister.

There is hope.

These days I have given up packing her snacks for school because I have no time to cook in the morning & the food may not last because she gets sent to daycare early in the morning. So my usual snack for her are biscuits or bananas or bread or crackers (this last one is not healthy, she says to me).. the food selection is not very exciting to say the least. Number 4 is also a fussy eater so we have narrowed down the selection to foods that she actually eats.

Now she receives pocket money which she is managing quite alright. She knows that she cannot spend any higher than RM2 so she learns about opportunity cost early in life. One day she will buy one item & the next day another item. Not everything at the same time.

I hope I will live long enough to teach my children sufficient values in life. I know my time on earth is not my choice. So I will do my best in this little time that I have. Love you lots.
