I am a mum of 2 children under the age of 3, I am also an insulin dependent diabetic. I have had people ask me how I can justify having things like a LCD television, a somewhat new, if outdated mobile phone, pay tv and other 'luxuries. I tell them that I have scrimped and saved as much as I can for these items. Though I may be poor, my children are always happy and healthy, fed well with things that I can't really afford, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, so we substitute and make do with frozen vegetables and canned fruit. There have been weeks in recent times where my partner and I have actually gone without food, just to make sure that our children have the food they need for their little growing bodies. This also means that my health goes into risk because of those decisions, so why do I have these luxuries that I mentioned earlier? It is so my children, who I love so very much can live a normal lifestyle, like all of their friends......
