It’s getting so cold here we are already wrapping up to keep warm. I hope the winter won’t be particularly cold as the memories of the last few winters are still strong. Being children and growing up isn’t supposed to be this difficult anymore. We are in a society that will do everything it can to blame parents for children being raised in poverty “it’s the scrounging parents” “shouldn’t have had all them kids if you can’t afford them” what they seem to forget is so many families are living on or below the breadline where one unexpected event could leave them completely lost in the black ocean that is poverty. The stigma is still so strongly negative.
