At least there are foodbanks these days. When my children were small, we went through a period from September to January where my wages did not come through. We collected the wilting vegetables from the tray outside the greengrocers at the end of the day, scavenged for hazel nuts, blackberries and other free growing fruits in the woods and fields, grew what we could in the back garden. The child benefit gave us a little money for limited electricity, and whatever was over bought mostly flour, eggs , and dried pulses.

Not just the basic food to survive also utility bills and others add up - so called ‘ cost of living’

When my daughter was small, I didnt have much and didnt overspend on Christmas. She knew that I would give her what I could (without getting into masses of debt). The best gift I gave her was love, not material things. To this day she is a responsible person, grateful for what she gets.

Most of the European wars were fought over two factors, dynastic control (EG the 100 years war) and in the case of Napoleon the belif that France was superior and therefore deserved to rule the world (Survival of the fittest from Darwinism). The rest were purely over control of spice routes and silk routes.

Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don't fall out of the sky. They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. They come from British parents and British families, British homes, British schools, British churches, British businesses, and British universities, and they are elected by British citizens. This is the best we can do folks. This is what we have to offer. It's what our system produces: Garbage in, garbage out. If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're going to get selfish, ignorant leaders. Term limits ain't going to do any good; you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant sods. So, maybe, maybe, maybe, it's not the politicians who suck.

Does this count as intermittent fasting?

Where is the father in this? And shouldn't parents have insurance for this ?

Why does she go hungry? Her cupboard was full of food.

I know quite a few poor people and every single one of them smoke or vape and as soon as they get paid they will order takeaways and waste it all

It's admirable that this mother is willing to go without food so that her son can eat. One thing I might suggest for this mother to do is to forgo getting her nails done so that she might be able to have fewer times of her going hungry. I mean no malice; it's just a suggestion to her be able to eat.

Why shouldn't she get her nails done? I can imagine it's an extremely miserable situation she's in and you're suggesting she deprive herself of even more. It does a lot for people self esteem and mood to be able to have a few nice things.

@@fn716 Of course, she should be able to get her nails done if that means more to her than feeding herself. Please don't be defensive...I was making a suggestion that if she doesn't have enough food for herself, giving up having her nails done is a way for her to eat. If she'd rather do without eating, so be it.

@@jimmiepatrum the last thing she needs is your condescending suggestion. The only way to alleviate the poverty she and millions of other people are is to fix the massive economic equality that exists in this country. Her nails probably one of the very few things that makes her some happiness. Its like telling someone to go without a haircut because they technically don't need it.

@@fn716 It's very different going without a haircut than going without food...not a true comparison! No condenscending attitude on my part - I guess you think she should stare at her beautiful nails while her stomach growls for food because having beautiful nails does a lot for her self esteem and mood, huh? Get real: if a person truly is hungry, self esteem is the least of her worries. Indeed, the poverty problems do need to be fixed, but in the meanwhile, I have enough sense to know that luxuries have to go in order to survive. Maybe you've never been truly hungry and didn't know how you were going to feed yourself. That's not a good place to be. Not going hungry trumps self esteem everytime.

@@fn716 because she is saying she doesn't have food, but is getting her nails done. It's all about priorities. I wouldn't dream of getting my nails done, as I don't have the money. However, I wear mascara in an obsessive way, as my eyelashes are literally invisible without it! However, if I had to choose between basic makeup, and food, the food would win every time! People in the west don't know we are born. Look at places like the Philippines, where they literally have a cup of rice to share between two children for lunch. There are loads of places where they only eat once, or twice a day. I'm not suggesting she does that, but since she doesn't have a baby/toddler (so no nappies, formula, or wipes to buy) she could totally feed them both on a shoestring. Atomic Shrimp has loads of ideas on how to do it.

@@Craig121000 But unkind to say the poor cant have children

When I was working on dialysis with 8 other medical issues my wages for the local labour council went down too less than 10k per year. Travel to work and medical appointments cost me £1500 a year. Food became hard to afford but luckily for me I was able to eat out of next doors bin when it was financially hardest. The people next door hadn't worked for 20 years. Both fit.. and luckily got enough benefits to throw half freshly cooked eaten joints of pork into the bin. I luckily ate out of it a few times until they caught me and threatened to inform the police and council for Trespass. I worked for the local labour council at the time doing very long shifts in a children's home. The manager new what i was going through so made sure any time I attempted to eat at work would make me stop eating. Laughing and make me have a meeting as each shift why I needed dialysis. Laughing whilst doing so.

I am just thinking to cope with situation, they can probably try cost saving measures, like for example she was using kingsmeal bread (arnd £1), she could replace that by cheaper ones in supermarket (arnd £0.50), I don't think they are too bad, just a smarter thing to do if making ends meet is being difficult.....like for other food products

Cant believe the crap in the cupboard..she can make some good healthy stews in a pressure cooker

Where's his Dad?

Same here I go without so my family can

That doesn't happen here in the states the grocery stores do not throw anything out they donate them to area food pantries I help at a church one and they collect Monday Wednesday and Friday from all the local grocery stores and those stores freeze what they can between pickup days

Is there a gofundme

UK same thing is happening over here in the US.

I honestly don’t get why you’d have kids if you don’t have a job, and you can’t afford to look after them, when contraception is free on the NHS??

'I can go without and that's ok' No, it's never ok! Shame on politicians for allowing this to happen in modern Britain.

Crazy how the most poverty stricken areas I see in London have about 15-20 Deliveroo drivers at every fast food joint - not only can the poor afford takeaway but they can pay twice to get it delivered

I’m a nurse in the Nhs I go without meals so my kids get the foods they like our wages can’t keep up with inflation

you are a great parent

Forget stigma. Do the right thing. Good work mom!

Very sad to hear.

Thank God for food banks.

Oh so I am not the only one without any savings, I feel less alone lol

She does not appear to be starving does she?

I do the same … once bills are paid there’s barely enough left to eat . I’m a single mum just came out of a horendous domestic violence marriage . He left me with no home no car nothing . I’m struggling to get in my feet not to mention my and my sons mental health . I have a casual job and still have no money . My son won’t have a Xmas or Xmas food . I go home and cry after iv don’t the shopping cause I know I have to struggle till next week 😢😭

Help me out. A loaf of bread containing about 20 slices is 36p at Aldi. So 2 slices would be 7.29. Add some spread and round up to 10p. Then add a glass of milk for another 5 p. That's 15p. A coupl of slices of toast and some milk is a normal breakfast isn't it? So if any child is going to bed hungry it's a matter for social services. If you want to tell me people are suffering then I accept that but this doesn't really add up does it?

UK people should avoid carbs and save money 🤑 So much obesity in UK...

How can there not be enough food

That's d love of a mother...

GB & N Ireland - A member of the exclusive G7 club and one of the richest countries by GDP - Something's wrong.

Poor people used to be skinny, now they are overweight. Food banks should hand out rice and potatoes but sugary, fatty junk food.
