my brother (17M) and I (16F) are starting summer school soon, so I figured I would start packing myself a lunch, my brother is doing online summer school, but he'll still be home all the time and super hungry. now, my mom did a walmart pickup today like usual, and asked us if we wanted anything specific before she ordered so we could get the food we want. unfortunately, my brother and i always forget what we do want the second she asks that. after she went to work today, i started looking at lunch ideas and messaged her some things i wanted to get, since i was hoping she hadn't placed the order yet. as it turned out, she already had, so she just recommended we could go to target to get the things i wanted after we put the things from walmart away. I had already needed to go for something, so i was okay with that. my list had probably 10 items on it, and while we were there, she called my brother to see if he wanted anything and he listed off about 5-8 things. my mom needed some stuff as well, so we were getting groceries for the whole household. most of the stuff was for me so i could bring lunches to school, since i knew my friends and i would be hungry and they dont usually bring food. then, when we were going to checkout, the total was over $200. after she had already spent nearly $200 at walmart. i felt so guilty and kept apologizing, because i could tell she was really overwhelmed. for some background, we're a relatively new money family. we're not SUPER rich, but both of my parents make a good amount of money. my brother and i both work as well. my mom does have really severe anxiety and depression though, so she was really just struggling in general. i feel so guilty for wanting to get all these other things i probably didn't need and making her more overwhelmed than she already was with work. i keep apologizing, put all the groceries away myself, and offered to make dinner for all of us when we got home, since she usually makes it, and she said she'll make it later since my dad was working a bit late anyway and that by then she'd be calmed down a bit. i feel really bad about it and the fact that it's partially my fault. but yeah, nutella and banana on bread since i probably wont be eating for a few more hours. sorry for the long post

I feel guilty for asking my mom to get more groceries.
