Shopping for you but buying for everyone else

Tweet

Why is it every time I go shopping for me, I start looking for stuff for my kids or my husband? I need clothes so bad yet every time I go, I come home with nothing for me and everything for them. Once I start looking at stuff for me and even picking stuff out, I'll head up to the register, then look at it and say, well I don't really need that right now and I'll put it back. It makes me feel guilty to spend money on me but if I'm spending money on them, I don't think twice because what I get for them is stuff that they need as well. Growing up, my mom used to do the same thing so I think it has rubbed off on me. I am a stay home mommy so I guess my husband is lucky I don't go crazy with the money and shop for me all of the time. I just need to learn how to shop for me when I need it and not feel guilty about it. Does anyone else feel this way?
