Well it sounds like at least you have a man who cares about both you and your family. Just explain to him how your feeling and ask him is there anyway you can make it up for you!  |

Well, first of all, you can tell he really loves you and your kids. If it was me, I would take it. I am not one for charity, but if it would be for my kids I would. Then pay him back later or something. I wouldn't let pride shut you off from him, because your kids need things, and if you can get some help, that's great. I hope I helped!  |

if you feel that uncomfortable about it consider it a 'loan' and gradually pay him back   |

You aren't asking. He is offering. He seems like a really caring man. I agree with both Becky and Toodles.  |

I would. Sometimes you need to swallow pride and feelings and accept the help you can get. You can always repay him someday  |

Obviously he cares about you and your kids and he's offering, you're not asking. I don't see a problem with accepting help when you are in a stump, everyone has one at some point in their life.  |

I think society has bred us to be way too independent/proud. Sometimes we need help. I am more than willing to give help to people when they need it, and I would expect the same in return. It's called humanity. Don't feel bad about it.  |

Tell him how you feel, and then slowly pay him back. He offered, so there's no need to feel bad. But TELL HIM! =)  |

Pride is a crutch of the insecure... no need to be prideful when it comes to your childrens needs Thank him, help him out when you can, and let your kids go back to school with what they need EVERYBODY needs a helping hand once in a while, MOOCH is someone that could care for themselves but feels it easier to let everyone else do it... MOOCH is someone that takes from another without contributing themselves... that doesn't sound like you!  |

A mooch is a person who goes out of their way to make sure they get all they can out of you, you don't seem like a mooch to me,your boyfriend offered to help you out no need to feel like a loser! we all need a helping hand at times,take the help from him,he cares about you and the kids.  |

well there isn't anything wrong with getting a little help, i mean he wanted to do it right? you are dating and it rocks that you have a man who cares about you and your kids so much. Let him know your feelings but don't push him away. It doesn't do to be proud. just pay him back when you ahve the money or somthing if that's what you want to do. But if you let your pride get in the way it may cause more problems.  |
