Do you find it shameful?

for me it depends on what it is for,
i say this as i live quite a long way from my family so it can be very expensive to visit them (usually between £100 and 200 for a long weekend), which they want me to do more often because of seeing my daughter, in these situations i do not mind asking for money to help pay for the traveling costs, mainly becuase i probably wouldnt go there as often if they didnt keep on saying how much they want to see us and how much they miss us etc
for anything else probably wouldnt like to ask as it would have been my mistake which i would want to get out off and which i would not want my family to lose out because of.
Thank you! This is what I'm thinking as well. Be ashamed of those to be ashamed of and not with things not to be ashamed of. I don't really advise people to borrow money. But I think it is just when you really need it.0
