My aunty
My aunty and uncle also had it a bit tough. They fell pregnant with their first child which ended up turning into twins. Then fell pregnant just seven months after having the twins with another child. By mistake of course. It meant that my aunty could not go back to work as she had three children under the age of three to look after at once. They considered child care but it would have been far too expensive and basically taken all of her wage so it made working not worth it. They were still paying off their house and had only my uncle’s wage to do it with. They ended up selling one of their two cars as it was too expensive to run and they used the money to help pay for everything like food and the mortgage. My uncle started applying for higher paying positions in his work so they could afford to keep living. It’s amazing watching how different their lives are now compared to before having the children. They are always struggling for money now and their entire lives revolve around their children and keeping them happy and healthy. Not that there is anything wrong with that, I just wouldn’t want it for myself is all.
