Yesterday when I posted how proud I was of my husband and I, it wasn't meant to make anyone else look bad. Even tho. I am still very proud of us, and we do not use something we don't need. In our minds, that help can go to someone who needs it. If we can afford formula, I am gonna let WIC use that for someone who may be in a hole. I was not trying to make anyone feel bad.
With that being said. I am still very proud of us for coming so far, and still going further. I am proud to be a working mom of four, and still be able to be a mom in the day time. I am proud my husband is about to get full time at his finally great paying job, because he has worked hard to get there. I am proud that we will have extra to give to the church, donate to people in need, donate for the people in Texas, and so on. It's not to just get off of foodstamps and WIC. I mean we can afford Christmas, and clothes when the kids need more. Yes I shop at thrift stores, but I am glad I can afford a couple nice outfits from Walmart or target for them. I mean this list can go on. There is nothing wrong with needed assistance, we have been there before so we know. So please don't take my post about being proud of where we are going, seeing where we came from. Just wanted to clarify that! I'm sorry if I did make it seem as such. 🙂

Girl do not be sorry for your success. We are all very proud of y'all and HAPPY that you're living a peaceful life like you deserve! dont let anyone make you feel bad for expressing how good you're doing, you just do you and don't worry about anyone else. I use WIC and hope one day I won't need any type govt assistance and when that day comes I'll be GLAD. ❤

@medeles98, I just don't want people to feel bad thinking I'm looking down. But we have been on food stamp and WIC since march of this year. And we bought formula up until June, and I finally got a job I like and still have time with the family. And he's getting somewhere with his. So it's finally paying off. Also I can start paying my mom back for all the help she has given too.

@armyvet_working_mom_of_4 you deserve those bragging rights. people don't know your previous struggles and the only people I see getting upset are probably the ones who aren't trying to get out of the hole they dug themselves and just jealous.

@medeles98, I have been there. That's why I clarify. I know how it feels to dig that whole, and feel like you're never getting out. I can't tell you how many times I was like well they shouldn't be there, you know they do all this shit and.... but after I sucked it up, realized my jealously and envy is what was keeping me down. I tell you I hate thirds, but I love my job. And my husband adores his, and his pay is way better than his other. I mean we are struggling to divide house work. Lol. Because it was usually me, because I stayed home. I think we will get there soon. Too. Hahaha hopefullly.

@armyvet_working_mom_of_4 sometimes people need help in different ways to get back on their feet. And for some that are not educated on certain resources that are government funded tend to have s negative view point on things. Like how folks did the author of the Harry Potter books. Don't let no one get you down. Especially if you only doing things temporarily and not abusing the system. That makes you and your husband better people. Like the gospel song indicates "...we fall down, but we get up..."
