It just hurt my feelings kinda. They know I’m in a tough spot and am tight on budgets. I have so many things to pay for, and I’m mostly alone. I have family that helps at times, but I always pay them back with a little interest as a thank you.

They were with me as I was grocery shopping; I only go to buy some meat to freeze and things like bread and milk. There were some grapes at a good price (.99/c a pound!!) and I had enough in my budget to get some as a treat. I don’t remember the last time I had fresh fruit. If I want fruit or veggies, it’s from a can from the food pantry box I get from my grandad. Fresh or frozen fruit is just too out of my budget. When I said “oh, I might get these as a treat, I have enough.” They kept saying shit like “imagine buying grapes as a treat.” And “you sound like a Victorian child” blah blah.

Maybe it was harmless and I’m being sensitive. But NONE of them have to worry about money, ever. They live with family and don’t have any major bills. They work just because they were told they have to. So for them to make fun of me for trying to make myself a little happy, sucks. Oh well. At least the grapes are good.

ETA: I appreciate all the offers, but please stop asking to send me money!! If you’re feeling so giving, try r/assistance. I’m fine :) ❤️
