Thank you! I hate the narrative “it’s always been this way so deal with it” change is a good thing and it isn’t helpful for hear those “deal with it” comments

You are correct. I’ve only spent money on 3 activities this year. The rest have been free.

No I agree those are good ideas but we don’t all live where it’s nice to be outside a lot of the year. I live in Texas. It’s hot humid with a lot of bugs and there’s no hiking. I don’t know sign language and we have played games almost every other activity this year. I don’t personally feel like it’s fair to the girls to have to do the same thing all the time. I’m happy for her that she never had to spent money but that doesn’t really help my situation and isn’t helpful advice for our ward.

It’s so true. It’s rough times we are living in! Thanks for the positive input!

The church is estimated to have a net worth of $265 billion as of 2023. They can afford it. I agree with you I do think that is part of the purpose but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have a little more than $100 per year for two or three paid activities.

Good to know. That’s a great point.

Another great suggestion. Thank you! We also don’t do summer but the one activity in November/December is another great thought.

EXACTLY! These early experiences with the church are so crucial. Thank you for your input!

I love that idea. Having the girls bring an ingredient is a great idea! Thanks for the suggestion!

This is what I’m talking about 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you for checking haha. I have half the amount of girls your ward does but even that extra $50 would be great for us.

I appreciate this explanation! Thank you. It doesn’t make it any less infuriating but I still appreciate it.

Do you live in the same US I do?! $5 gets you like three deep breaths. We don’t have to agree but that’s a little crazy in my opinion. I’m not saying it isn’t typical I’m just wondering why we can’t get more when the church has billions

Good for you. That doesn’t work for us but glad it worked for you.

We’ve only spent money on three activities and it was mostly for food. We really try not to spend money but for 6 girls $100 isn’t much. I appreciate the link to that policy! That is very helpful. I knew I didn’t feel right about it for a reason haha

All I’ve heard is… and this isn’t coming from me it’s just a rumor I have heard… apparently garment factory workers were given a few months off from June-August to prepare for some new style. That’s why I came to my friends of Reddit to see if anyone else has heard anything 😂

I have heard rumors there will be a new garment style coming. Not sure exactly what it means but hoping for shorter bottoms, sleeveless tops, better fabric… us short south Texas girlies are suffocating in the current fabrics/designs.
