Let me say I'm annoyed at myself because I can't walk off and quit shaking this around like Orson with a new stuffy.......I really am sorry! LOL And I also want to say I am NOT intentionally picking at anyone, because I quote your post just means either I've heard that before and would like to address it......or it made me remember something else i wanted to say!
LOL
And how do you know who has or has not experienced dirt poorness? (is poorness a word? LOL) How do you know who did or did not grow up that way, never having much of anything because your parents weren't responsible with birth control or money.
People who HAVE climbed out of a hole, know it's dammed hard, but KNOW it can be done are
WAY less tolerant of those who choose to stay in the hole and whine about it........trust me
Bogie, I got pregnant at 20. It darn sure wasn't intentional......but I got TWO jobs instead of going on 'the system' We barely scraped by for a few years, it sucked, but you know what? It was a daily reminder not to do that again, LOL (and I didn't until I was married 10 YEARS later I had my youngest son 'cause Kevin wanted one together) Don't get me wrong, I love my son and I'm glad he's here......but I'm not going to use age or circumstances as an excuse. I was able bodied and took personal responsibility.
As stated above, people who've crawled out of the hole you're in have less tolerance for those who choose to stay in....
