I'm a Mom of 3 boys aged 7, 4.5 and 3. Happily married. I work part time in a secondary school, my husband had worked at the same family run company for 18 years till Covid hit, he was put on Furlough and after a hard year (same for everyone I know) he made the best decision for his family and looked for another job as it seemed the company wouldn't survive Covid. Very luckily for us he got a full time job as a delivery driver for Waitrose (very posh I know ) Anyway we live in South Birmingham in an area many would say is deprived. I've lived in and around this area all of my life (I'm 41) but it's only since becoming an adult I've found out from the news/media etc that it's a deprived area. The reason I didn't know growing up that I was from/living in a deprived area is because as far as I knew I had everything I could have wished for. A happy childhood and loving parents/family. We didn't have much but we had each other and the things we got given we appreciated as it was only on Birthdays and Christmas. The holidays I remember are day trips to Blackpool or train journeys to Stratford. Anyway I'm rambling My 3 boys may be living in a deprived area and may not get all the free tit the Ryan twins get but I know they don't need all that because we have each other We're taking them to Gloucester on Saturday to an amazing farm that we have saved and paid for ourselves and we are staying in a hotel overnight that we have saved and paid for ourselves. The 5 of us will all be in one room. We haven't told the boys, they will find out when they get there and I'm so so so excited to see their happy little faces when they do
