So my mum's a single mother with my two younger sisters and it is a lot of pressure to the point
00:06
where I help. The government, she gets so much help from like government, like say food parcels
00:12
or something, she gets so much help with that and then it's like going out activities, she can't
00:18
afford that stuff because she's only limited. People can say oh she goes out and gets a job but
00:24
everyone's different, mental health, so on, you only get so much help as well. Yeah as a parent
00:30
myself I'd say it's too much because especially if you know it's expensive having one child, if you've
00:35
got multiple children it's like you know even like to the theme parks you're talking £100 and then
00:42
spending money and it's like you can't have money every single day as well as living you know to
00:49
provide for these things and there's not many resources out there you know like to help the
00:54
kids when they're bored and that so yeah it does put pressures on parents, absolutely.
