I took offense

So yesterday we invited a friend "Uncle" over. He comes and washes his laundry about once a week. The kids love him. Chaka and him hang out all the time, they have known each other for many many years. 

Normal hang out kinda vibe. 

I mention that we are done with Christmas shopping. I also state the kids really don't want anything. 

Friend makes a comment " yeah, cause you buy them everything"

And today, I can't stop thinking about it. 

I am truly offended, especially that a remark would be made like that. Why would he think that? Jealous? Not sure but WHY????

I really want to ask him today, I mean he was drinking. Maybe the alcohol and the fact Chaka and I have a good relationship????

Hmmmmm

Now don't get me wrong. Our kids are very blessed. They have more than some and less than others. 

But they are also very giving. They understand that some kids don't have the things they do. They understand that they need to share what they have. 

They aren't materialistic. They wouldn't even notice if I gave some toys away. Is that because they have too much, or  because they aren't attached to "things"???

I love them and of course as a parent we want to give our kids the best. I can't help if we are financially in a better place than others. We donate, buy for others, and share everything we have. I have allowed others to stay with us when they had nowhere else to go. I have bought people things if I thought they truly needed it. 

I am just offended that said friend would just make those type of comments. So now, ignore or confront??

They are my heart. I will provide them with everything I can. That is my job as their parent.
