That would depend on what your expectations were and what was important to you. 7 kids, less than that as a salary, stay at home Mom.

I, like Das, have seen both sides. I find the way people deal with you also depends on how you deal with them. If you are having a bad day and not friendly, you will find people aren't as friendly to you. I sense the OP is expecting the worst, probably consciously or unconsciously putting off bad vibes and getting bad vibes in return.
That's true, My expectation are of a very high standard of life, like the one I am accustom to, throughout my childhood.
Which is what I have heard from many in the generations after mine. Standard of living being more important than family and kids. For my wife and I, the kids were the number one. We made enough to get what was needed. Now that the kids are gone, our standard of living has increased because of lower overhead (no more kids at home) and we can get the things we "want" not just the things we "need". Now is our time, whereas before was all about the kids.
Round and round the mulberry bush, the Mod chased the weasel.
You posted your work and I reviewed it and said it was alright. I have never posted my creations except on facebook for my family to see so that means you have not reviewed my work as a cabinet maker so your comment of me being a hack falls into the "ignorant statement " category which, can be understood as a standard practice with your type of logic. In summary, your opinions have no credibility whatsoever.
And by the way, now that we are being more honest than discreet, your store front that you posted was mediocre at best. I'd have a class two cabinet maker do that job and delegate the more detailed projects to the journeymen.
Well I've scale back my high expectation, And I've challenged the kids to take charge and responcibility to help. So they have started distributing Flyers to finance things they feel they would like to do while they are still kids. So far so good. They have 10 000$ saved up for a trip to Disney World this year.
At first they didn't like the whole idea of this work thing but now I think it's empowered them.
Twila one of the first things my neighbor said to me when we moved into the house that we bought was, hi. My name is Gary. You'll like it here we ain;t got no ni**ers in our town. I lived there for a good long while and met a few nice people. My girls dealt with the class distinctions of a redneck town as best they could and they all did well and I'm thinking learned a very valuable lesson on ignorance and bigotry. I will say that the trout fishing in the river close by was outstanding. when I wasn't working that's where I spent a lot of time. Down at the river.
The community that usually has been very hostile towards kids have grown and now encourage them. It's been a positive experience for all
It's to bad my wife's health has always been difficult, because it feels like I'm only starting to get really good at parenting now that we have 3. :lol:
And having a 12 year old really makes things easier :lol:
You did good Gerryh. 7 kids sounds like a great accomplishment.

Y'all generalize Americans consistently and constantly how the fukk does it feel to have others do it to you?
Plenty of bigotry and ignorance but not even close to your idiotic video. I'm assuming you're an internet scholar like the others. Typical dumbazz on the net.
Thank you for your unsolicited intrusion Pud. Good to know you made it through the night without getting crushed.
Canadians are like other people: they include the good and the bad.
Generally, what you complain of, are not so evil, such things may be trivial.
The most important is when man transgresses on others: stealing their property, or transgresses by reviling or beating, or murdering.
Therefore the violation of God's commandments is the important and serious thing, and although I have not gone to Canada, I think they may not be different from other people elsewhere and may be better (because Canada is colder :smile: )
By the way: I remembered a tale, which may not be true but it explains something here:
It is told that Imam Ali - salam to him - saw someone coming from a certain city, and he asked him: "How are the people of this city?"
The man said: "They are very good, cooperative and hospitable, etc."
He said: "You are truthful."
Then another man came from the same city, and Imam Ali asked him: "How are the people of this city?"
The man said: "They are very bad, not cooperative, aggressive, cruel ..etc."
Imam Ali said: "You are truthful."
So his companions said: "What is this: both of them are truthful? How can this be? The first man said: they are very good, and the other said: they are very bad, and yet you say to them: both of you are truthful!?
Imam Ali said: "Each one of them told what he met: this one accompanied good people and he said they are good, and the other one accompanied bad people so his impression is that they are bad."
Obviously this person was imagining exaggerated ideas of how polite Canadians would be. When you set the bar up so high, it's easy to get disappointed many times. Our government likes to promote that we are exceptional people worldwide, but truthfully we are nothing special. It makes some people feel good about themselves to try imagining that we are better then we are.
