Stressed

August 21st, 2006 at 01:44 pm

See, debt affects all corners of your life. You're in denial if you don't see it.

It makes me feel powerless sometimes. Defeated- but only temporarily. Do children hate their parents for being low income?

I've had such bad luck this year. I've tried many things to make money. I've invested money in places to make money but nothing's worked out.

    Don't worry. Just keep at it. The fact that you're trying makes it a success already, especially when you consider the alternatives such as... being in denial, being apathetic, or not knowing how to get started.

    I don't think kids hate their parents for being low income. But they do see your struggle and realize what you sacrifice for them. Keep your chin up. You're not defeated.

    That's a very interesting question, do children hate their parents for being low income. I think the answer is no, they really don't. They will see, as adults, that their family struggled as they grew up, but I am quite sure they won't hold it against you personally. Adversity grows character.

    I come from a very modest background and i was just as happy as any other kid.

    No, I don't think so. I think kids love their parents almost without question, especially when they are little. They want your time and your hugs and kisses and your comfort when they are hurt. The only real problem is when kids don't think their parents love them. And usually even then they don't hate them back.

    Most of the time kids don't even know they are poor if they have 3 meals a day (even if its not steak and lobster but PB&J), clothes to wear (even if they come from the thrift store), a toy or two (from garage sales or hand me downs) and somewhere to call home, even if its the camper on the back of a pickup truck.

    Mostly kids want to be secure in their family, whether their family is a bunch of other people or just one other person. Tell your daughter you love her every day. Make sure your husband does it, too. And say it to each other every day in front of your daughter so she knows it and sees it and hears it. That's all that is important to a kid.

    Relax. Take a deep breath. Reassess. Regroup. Renew yourself and your commitment to your goals. Good luck.
