@artsngrafts One thing that keeps me going with my degree is remembering what a privilege it is for me to be able to further my education when so many others cannot x
@artsngrafts I did that!! π€£ Except I pushed Joe off the sofa and the image of him on the floor looking all shocked gave me the giggles and he has photos of me laughing my head off on the sofa π x
@artsngrafts It's sad how low the bar has been set for men. Me and my children's dad have equal time and more people than I expected seem surprised by this. I get "where are the kids?" a lot when I'm out doing stuff and when I say "with their dad π€·πΌββοΈ" people seem shocked by this x
@artsngrafts Thank you π₯Ί It's sad that people feel the need to look down on or guilt people because of their circumstances. If they gave them support or advice instead, there would be more chance of them being able to better their situation x
@artsngrafts I work 26 hours a week and have to supplement my income with government support. Yes I could let that make me feel guilty because I am using those resources but I know I'm a single mother who is working hard at what I do and I am trying to make more so I can eventually come off x
@artsngrafts Isn't that literally what benefits is for? Helping the vulnerable in society while they need that financial support. People who say negative stuff like that clearly have been fortunate enough to have never been in that situation. It's hard enough without being shamed for it x
