Not to people like me. I find that an insult. We get SNAP benefits to the tune of a whopping $194 a month. That's got to feed five fucking people.
And before the newly minted resident asswipe comes in and assumes I buy junk food with that money - think again. We get enough meat and produce to last three weeks. I buy flour in 25 pound sacks. We don't get processed foods except for bread, peanut butter (for the kids) and other necessities. I do what I can with what I have to work with. Rob works 45 hours a week and has to pay child support for children that we have the exact amount of time that his ex has them. She shouldn't be getting any child support at all since she's got a damn job. We have one car because we can't afford two cars. He gets a ride to and from work most days and he donates plasma a few times a month to help carry us through.
People who think this is funny obviously don't have a clue as to what it's like to struggle. Christmas is coming up along with three birthdays all before that and I am trying to figure out how I'm not going to disappoint my kids this year.
Many times we struggle with putting dinner on the table so no. None of this is funny to me.
I'm really sorry you went through this.
The reason I think it's funny is because I know hes not serious. Hes just being obnoxious and trolly on purpose. Otherwise, yeah, it wouldn't be funny.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
