[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1323488, member: 17956"] I'm feeling guilty.........We rodeo. In a normal year, we will go to 25 youth rodeos. That's a lot, and its very expensive. Also, the kids enter every event there. Our rodeo season winds up in early June. The new year, will start immediately. I haven't told the kids yet, but I'm cutting them to 10 rodeos. They can also only enter there 2 favorite events. Not sure what the reaction will be. I'm to the point, that it doesn't really matter. Where just gone too much, and spending too much money. One ramification of this, is way less buckles, and zero chances at saddles. I know there is more to life, than buckles and saddles. I doubt they realize that now though. I'm feeling pretty guilty about it, because they love it so much. Some of these events we will be dropping are strictly "youth" events. The ones we will keep, are what i would consider lifetime activities. Anyway, if I wanted to, I could scare the cash to continue. Not saying who who look at me, but I could make it work. I'm just overwhelmed with guilt, for cutting them back. In other words, it's not that I can't afford it, it's more that I don't want to spend it. Anybody ever faced a tough decision with money and kids? [/QUOTE]
