"She then to my surprise.. turned around and told her kid (Which i'll never forget this), "Sorry kids, we aren't going to have much to eat this month. Mommy wants this purse." I about fell over... I really didn't want to sell her that purse after that."

Lol, more than likely she wasn't that serious (although you never know). Heck, I'll live off tuna for a couple of weeks for Prada. :)

What you saw, webmaster, was probably just what it was, their beer was more important than their kid. Sad too. I have a convenience store and see similar things. Not with medicines though, more along the lines of mom/dad buying their beer and then telling the kids there's not enough for a candy. I never know if it's the parent being selfish or their way of avoiding a hyper child. :) Sometimes what you see isn't what it is. I've been told I was carried out of Church at 2 or 3 years old screaming "don't beat me daddy!".

I have a very low tolerance for people who put so much importance on alcohol. There's nothing wrong with it, I enjoy it too but when every aspect of your life is affected by it, from your finances to always seeing the same guy drunk at every occasion, even kid occasions, it makes me want to shake sense into people.
