I think that if you can afford to pay for the repair and want to, that’s fine, but if you don’t want to pay for it or can’t afford to, don’t. Don’t feel guilty either way. Hah, easy to say, hard to do. Our family’s income dropped precipitously two years ago. I think I’m a good mom but I feel incredibly guilty about the fact that we can’t provide as much as we used to, even though I’m the parent who’s still working.
