I couldnt hold it in any longer! Money doesnt make friends better than!

Tweet

I have had this friend for almost a year. For the most part, she is very good to me and my family. As time went by, It became clear that she helped people so she could hear how selfless she was. Everytime I try to do or say anything, she has done it already. This christmas will be difficult due to the fact that I am trying to regroup from tragedies that had just occurred at beginning of year. Because I had a fairly decent job, agencies weren't really open to help me. . I had talked to my friend about this and had also told her what my daughter was asking for (an IPod). My friend immediately began to do as she always does and says that she was getting a $600 IPod for her daughter. I couldnt understand why she had to put how much she was going to pay. My daughter got wind of this and decided that she no longer wanted that. She changed it to a camera. I went out and got a great deal on a Kodak Easy Share. When my friend and I went to the store I showed her what I ended up getting. The next thing I know she picks it up and says to the sales girl "may I have this and every thing that goes along with it"? I LOST IT! before I knew it I was asking my friend if she was serious. I told her that every time my girl wants something she has to buy it and all the accessories for her daughter. I tried to be polite. She couldnt understand what the problem was. Am I crazy? I feel like kids these days have it difficult trying to find their way as individuals as it is. She makes sure that my daughter knows that Sasha has that and the case and accessories as well. I feel like shes trying to make the girls compete. Her response was My daughter doesnt even hang with your daughter. I feel that she was implying that she and her children are better than. And you know what? Im glad shes fortunate to have money. Even though her and her husband dont work. NO comment. I just want my daughter to know that money isnt everything. I think my friend is truly being hurtful. Thats the only reason I can fathom that she would have to add the amout she pays for things. I also found out that she has told some members of my community about ways she has helped me in the past. I found out the hard way. Money doesnt always make individuals better people. It can make them hurtful and greedy.Please keep in mind that this isnt the first time. It has been going on an almost daily basis. Its literally always something. I never said anything because I didnt want to seem petty. Come on though. I remember what it was like. I dont think any child needs everything that they see. Do you?
