Question

I got a $100 Amazon girl card from my mom for my birthday. My husband says I have to spend it on myself. Well I just see stuff that I want to get my girls. Any other moms like this? Always wanting to put their kids first. I want to buy something for myself, just don't know what I want or need. Don't feel the need to spend all that money on myself.

Answer

Same here. With baby it's the make it rain dance, with myself it is such an internal struggle to even have bought the pants I needed.

Answer

You should spend it on yourself if there's something that you want or need but the way I look at it is buying something for my son can have the same effect as buying it for myself if the item makes my life easier! An example being I spent money on extra sippy cups the other day which was a win for me because I don't have to keep the same 2 cups clean all the time.

Answer

Oh yeah. I'm notorious for doing that so now everyone who buys me a gift card gives me one to sephora or a place I can't spend it on the baby 😂

Answer

I got Amazon gift cards for my birthday and spent them on board books and a travel high chair for my almost eight month old. No regrets! Lol.

Answer

Haha i had this problem and spent it on my daughter its practically for you too if they are youngsters your the one putting it on them etc :)

Answer

Me all the time , everyday

Answer

When I buy something for my daughter it is for me too.  If it makes her happy then it makes me happy 😊

Answer

Yes! My mom keeps telling me to buy maternity clothes because nothing fit me anymore, and I've been putting it off for the longest time because I didn't want to spend money on myself when I could spend it on my unborn baby! I'm 36w2d, and just bought maternity clothes last weekend 😂

Answer

I know I need new jeans since my hips are wider and my old ones won't fit but all I want to do is but baby stuff! I'll have to give in soon and get some but I just don't want to! I'm rocking these damn maternity pants for now.

Answer

Me everyday. My dad gave me money to buy maternity clothes, this is big because he's cheap, and I haven't spent it. I want to spend it on the baby but my mom is telling me to spend it on myself.
