What the hell is wrong with me?

iv got my kids here. but i feel alone. it just fustrated me and upset me thats all. i didnt want to start an argumet with them. i just realise how hard it is having no money and trying to feed three kids. it hard

Hi @Bubbles3

If it was me who upset you then it was entirely unintentional - you ask for help and I suggested some ideas -

It can be so upsetting when we run out of food and really hard when we have financial troubles - I have been through times like that and learned to have certain economical items on hand to use when I can't get out

I am so sorry to have upset you - I did not mean to - I thought you needed help and was offering some

Ded

Three kids - wow - that is hard - I don't want to argue with you either - I can just see how hard it must be - kids cost a lot more than just food as well

I hope you are okay - it is never my intention to hurt someone

Dec

No, I don't think you would want to start an argument, @Bubbles3. But it's totally ok to say that your feelings were hurt. if we don't tell people how we feel, then they will never know.

Just say "you hurt my feeling with your comments... you may have meant well... but I feel like you were lecturing me, or didn't really understand me..... (or however you did feel, @Bubbles3. I don't want to put words into your mouth)."

It's ok to speak your truth, @Bubbles3. You deserve to be heard.

Grocery bills are expensive, I still have to count every dollar at the supermarket.

thank you @Owlunar

it did upset me and i know you didnt mean to

but we do not have any money and trying to feed 3 kids who never stop eating and they eat everything even if it is noodles flour or rice. they eat everything and we just cant keep up with it sometime. we try our best.

we are in deep financal sh*t with out money and living from fortnight to fortnight is very hard. we cant get ahead with anything , even food. so it is very hard.

but thankyou for aploagising @Owlunar

iv never been fustrated with someone on here before so i didnt know how to handle it. but thankyou

how did i go @Sahara

iv never doner done this before

Hi @Sahara

I agree with you - people need to feel free to say if they have been unintentionally upset

Looking back I don't think it was me who upset her - it is distressing to think so - she is really battling and I had no idea she had three kids to feed as well

Oh dear -

Dec

You did beautifully @Bubbles3. I am sure that Dec hears you! I'm sure she feels very sorry if she upset you.... you can see it was unintentional on her part.

Does it feel good to tell someone how you feel?

You did really well @Bubbles3

I am pleased you spoke out so openly - and you haven't upset me at all - I understand your position

You are right - kids seem to eat up everything in sight and then want more - and they have to be clothed and educated as well

And yes - when you have psychological issues it is so much harder - I have been there a long time in the past - so hard to live like that and people don't realise - I didn't realise you had children and how they were eating so much

If you hadn't spoken up and I hadn't replied I would never have known just how hard things are for your financially and now I do and this is a good thing - I will understand more if you ask for help again
