Well said TM and I agree with a lot of what you said N6, i think different people see being poor differently, to me if you kids are fed, warm and clothed your not doing to badly so what if you cant afford an expensive joint or to take your kids on holidays, I had a good upbring. oh really had a tough one, they went without food, and when he started working for my dad he never had a lunch box as they had no food in the house, (i think he feel for my home made cakes;)) luckily with his wages things improved for the family but all his money was put into them but at least there was enough for everyone.
We struggled when our kids where little, I remember hiding form the rent man, and dd1 talking to him through the letterbox:o:o:p
the kids never had holidays but we had the beach, countryside and mountains so the kids remember their childhood with fondness, and crazy meal concoctions as it was all in the cupboard, stitching clothes, gluing shoes and all that other stuff you do to make ends meet. but i would not change a thing.it made my kids the people they are today.0 -

Tend to agree...she seems to be angry at Jamie O for not being able to afford a £20 joint....she doesn't know shes born!
People expect too much nowadays and want everything on a plate!
My child hood was pretty much as she described and my Dad worked, we made do with what we had and I remember washing my hair with washing up liquid too!:eek:
