RE: Christmas

in CCC16 days ago (edited)

It's not different with us. Me and my children also eat a little bit once a day and with me many do. There are more and more children visiting school without a meal. School doesn't provide it, no food or drinks this means they are at school from 8 am till at times 6 pm, next travel (some 1 hour or longer (2) like my children) and next have their first and last meal of the day. By the way, my children feel nauseous if they have to eat in the morning.

I know years ago it was different. It was normal children at kindergarten and primary school received a beker of milk and some fruits. Today it's zero.

A negative thing of dutch people is they are raised to pay their bills and all the taxes first so food is the last thing they buy if there's money left, but today the bills pile up and of course, taxes go first. The government simply takes it with or without bailiff.

I can't remember I ever had a moment in my life I didn't had to prioritize so if you had that moment cherish it since it means you had a time you lived worry free.

I am afraid all presidents and kings are tornados and those with a smaller budget keep paying all bills.

Here in Colombia, children are given lunch and a snack , this has been going on for years, thankfully it still continues.
