So I watched Poor Kids on BBC 1 on iplayer.
Heart wrenching programme. I'm sorry but the system sucks. How can it be right for people to live in such poverty and it be legal. The benefits system needs sorting out. My father in law gets more in benefits than my husband earns. That sucks too.
I feel like saying give me a job and I'll do it. I will quite happily volunteer for anything my church including the Hope Centre or Derby City Mission does. Unfortunately whatever I do has to come with free childcare or I bring them with me!
Social action is something I am becoming increasingly more passionate about. I'm growing further and further away from the way I was brought up and my private school education which I really hope doesn't show.
Right now I'm far happier hanging out with the mum's from school, 2 friends of mine 1's on methadone and 1's taking some illegal drug I hadn't even heard of. Well anyway I'd rather hang out with them than go to middle class toddler groups (no offence meant to the people that run them, some of them are my friends).
Just not sure at the moment what else I can do. I had my interview at Derby Uni today to do Social Work in September. I will hear next week.
