We went to a baby class together this morning, it was nice for us both to get out the house together

Maternity pay is rubbish

Just answered the question of the week and I’m feeling very empowered and positive what I have written. I hope that it is of use and highlights government failings.

Hello, I am a mother who lives alone with my child and I am facing many problems. I am an immigrant and I have no acquaintances in where I live. The feeling of loneliness and the problems of life have made the situation very difficult, but with some help, ​​for which I am very grateful, I was able to gain morale and try to improve my situation so that I can create a bright future for my child

Today is a beautiful day because I took my son out to the movie theatre and we went to Amma to learn about Changing Realities, to learn about the wellbeing of every person in life. That your children still need you in their life.

Life as a single mum is difficult and not working. Kids will make requests that mostly you can't afford.

I'm so tired, need sleep

It’s winter, starting to gather warm clothes and hot water bottles .

I'm finally infront with my gas and electric feeling good about that 😌

Ive just watched the little princess, 1987 sort, a scene stuck with me, where a boy gave the girl some money for food. She refused, said "I'm not a begger" and the lad replied with "you look like youre in need" and she accepted the coin. Later saying to herself she accepted it cos the lad seemed so disappointed when she refused. The lad reminded me of my lad.

I remember when my lad, my youngest, a year or so ago, when he told me "it's not easy to spot who's poor and who's not until you talk to people and realise that some can afford better things or places to go than others. I was talking to my friends at school and they were alot like us, their mum's don't have alot of money either and have to say no to new toys and Gameboys like you. But they also told me they wish they were me, cos their mummy's and daddy's don't play with them everyday like you do with me. I think that makes us rich." Kids are so much more empathetic than adults towards people of different incomes.

Fantastic news about the upcoming Changing Realities book. This has brought hope to my thoughts of arriving at a day when no families or children are left to live in poverty without any hope of a better future.

It was a good day today

Feeling positive and encouraged
