“The kids should not know what their parent is going through. That’s not stress a child needs.”Yeah, my family grew up rather poor. Hint: we kids knew. When buttered toast is your dinner for days at a time, you kinda put two and two together. It didn't matter. We were still happy.

My Mom lived on stewed tomatoes on toast as a kid - for months at a time. Very, VERY poor. Very, VERY Rural.
She will not touch a stewed tomato now, even if she were starving.

You had butter ? Man that was a treat back then. Oleo and powdered milk. Ugh
