So went to a food net today

If you were getting a mani/pedi or something frivolous, that'd be one thing. But feeding your children? Really, she's going to judge you for that?! ??‍♀️??‍♀️??‍♀️ You never know someone's circumstances.

This is one thing I absolutely cannot stand... judgemental small minded people. We’re all human at the end of the day and I’ve always been brought up to show compassion and never judge a person by their circumstances. I find sometimes the older generation believe they are entitled to give their opinions freely simply because they have been around longer and it’s not right. In fact, her comments were actually rude and I’d most probably have said “if you can’t say anything nice then please would you keep your opinion to yourself as your rude remarks aren’t helping anybody”. Don’t let one persons small mindedness ruin your day, you keep doing what you have to do for your family and hold your head high that you’re not ashamed to seek help when it’s needed.

@mommydearest....one thing I have learned in my years of life are ppl who are critical of others often fear what they see in themselves. When you give them an opportunity to be heard and transparent, you usually find a person with a story of pain who needs to be heard. Most ppl are not bad ppl, they are hurt ppl. And we all know hurt ppl hurt ppl. The elder probably has a story of pain with her multiple children, force to keep reproducing and she deflected that on OP. Negativity travels as far as a smile. Thank you love! ❤❤❤❤

People don't know another person's situation and the food banks are a blessing when you need them. It doesn't matter if you have one kid or several it's nobody's business anyways

She needs to show love instead of judgment. She has no clue what your circumstances are...have no idea if your husband was laid off or if you were laid off...she doesnt know if you were a victim of a natural disaster such as a house fire...or if your refrigerator went out and all your food was lost to that. She should have reserved her judgment. If she is there to volunteer, then volunteer and shut the heck up. I do not disrespect my elders, I was raised too well to steep so low but I would have kindly redirected her conversation. I would have used her years of motherhood as a gateway....like "yes, since you have already raised your 6, what are some things you regret and some things you did great? How were you able to save and put them all through college? How did you teach independence to them all? I sure bet things were harder back in your day." The nerve of folks.....I adopt 2 families for Christmas every year...and my only request is if they ever are in a position to help someone else to do so. I really am disgusted by ppl like her. My mother always said "if you are not providing a solution then you don't have a right to point out the problem." Blessings to you and your family and I hope all of your families needs are met.

Were you there to donate food or to get food? I wouldn't be trying for a baby if I couldn't get food..

Maybe she thought your DH didn't care that he kept knocking you up while you rely on food banks

Her comments were uncalled for and rude but I have to admit if I was relying on food banks I wouldn’t be having more kids.

If all her children are grown, why does it matter if they were there? It's not adding anything to your story. She was rude and she should have kept her comments to herself.

Its none of her business she is probably volunteering i am so sorry you had that experience

What a rude lady wow shame on her

She should keeo her moulth shut i would complain about her.

It's a community handing out food. Like a fool bank that takes food to different sites to hand out.

And she had 6 kids of her own (all grown but still)

What's a food net?
