[quote=Anonymous]First- I hope that you ate the hummus anyway. It's no big deal to eat it.

Second- I am sorry. We had a financial turn recently too, and I am scrambling to cut our grocery bill by a lot. It's hard and it makes me quite upset when my son wastes food.

Third- you need to go to a thrift store and pick up some clothes. I dropped some things off a few months ago and noticed a family walking out with name brand clothing for a song.

Fourth- Homemade, from scratch food is only less expensive if it's something that is relatively cheap to make and you eat a lot of it. I think people who suggest it may not know what it's like to worry (truly worry) about money. (e.g. "everyone has a $10 bottle of olive oil, tahini is only $5, just pull out the $200 food processor or spend 30 minutes mashing chickpeas when you just wanted to sit down...")

OP, my mom was a single mom with almost no money. The stress and worry of something going wrong (car repair, furnace, medical) cannot be overestimated. I remember my mom freaking out when she had car trouble. Once, I broke my arm and insurance didn't cover all of the costs- my mom flipped out. It was awful to be a child with a broken arm and my mom screaming about we couldn't pay the bill. I hope your ex isn't the loser my dad was.

I hope your ex is in similar straits, and if not, I hope he has plans to help more because your DD had to eat your dinner and snacks tonight so she wouldn't be hungry.  [/quote]
