I have an autistic child with a very short collection of foods they will eat. So I see to his needs before my own. I will and I have lived on rice and beans on a short term basis because my son needs certain foods that I consider it my responsibility to provide. That 50 for her birthday could be much better spent, on the autistic child perhaps. I am far from well off but I manage and I am never above rice and beans and cheap meat. A bag of flour and I make home made flat bread for the rice and beans. I use seasonings to jazz it up a bit. If I was ever to ask for money from anyone it would be to make sure my son's foods are covered. She is bold for asking for 50 for Starbucks and Chinese food for her birthday. Bid deal, she was born.
