When the going gets tough. - Real Mum story on MoM

20 Comments

Since my daughter had her baby and started working money has been a bit tight for them. She was let go from her job when she was seven months pregnant and then my son-in-laws work closed down after a fire. They had a spate of bad luck. He got a new job just at the start of the year but they have struggled through the last year and half. I am just proud that they are now on the up but also proud that they just ‘made things work’ with what they had.

Times can get tough – but usually its short lived so you just have to knuckle down and believe better days are coming

It is great to watch your baby”s become adults and then see just how well they can cope. I would say your Daughter was taught well by her parents

they sound like a couple who have shown true resilience. Its not all about the good times but how you cope in the bad times as well. good on the both of them and you for being such a great support and proud mum and mother in law.

A lot of people have to hit the down slope and when they come out the other end they are better for it . Does not mean we want it to happen but it shows us life is not an easy road.

It is great that your son in law has found new work, things will get better….I know from experience how tight money can be especially when raiding a young family….you just learn to budget better and prioritise spending.

What a tuff time. I am glad they have pulled through. I can only hope it was a blessing to experience it so they know what rock bottom if and now take nothing for granted. Congrats on the baby too.
