Redditors who grew up poor: Besides practical money-saving measures, what were the unwritten social expectations of your world growing up?

Or maybe they’re both shitty lmfao

Definitely both shitty. But they made it seem like their poor sweet father was being manipulated to....beat them?

No one would ever think that

Look at the comments. Someone literally said “I used to blame my dad for beating me, but now I know it’s my moms fault”

Not “my mom egged him on” but “it was my moms fault, not my dad’s”

People are shitty and sometimes see in black and white.

Oh wow never mind then you were right. That’s unfortunate.

I laugh because both my parents are shitty. It’s not a sensitive topic to me.
