Last year when I got the little one new curtain’s for her room she wanted some more grown up ones. So this year I let her pick them out. She picked out a very nice set of pink ones, but because they were so shear we had to get her blinds to keep the sun out. I went to the store by me to get cheap blinds for her room, and I saw some nice faux wood blinds, but after what I had just spent on curtains decided that they were too much for me. I ended up just getting the cheap ones. Now a year later she broke them, and hubby says that it’s because I tried to save a few dollars, and didn’t just go ahead, and buy good ones. I know that realistically our little one had a fit, and didn’t mean to break them. So now I went back to get better ones, and got a surprise. The price was more this time around. It drives me nuts when this happens so I picked up another cheap set, and told her that she pays for them the next time she breaks them. Who knows maybe now they’ll last a little longer.

Her dad had to do that and he became more aware when it cost him his paper money.
