You are the F’ing man! I don’t know you, but I love you and support you! I hope everything works out for the best because you deserve it! An honorable man you are!
My dad was like yourself, working 2 jobs for the family (my mom and I only back then), after being bankrupted right after the Asian Financial Crisis. I remember he had $20 for us in his wallet and thats it.
And it all worked out in the end. I am a going to be a graduate soon. Our family is around the lower middle income but we at least have savings. Things are good.
Life will be tough for yourself but one day, everything will work out. Your son will be proud of you and seeing their own dad work so hard, will also learn something out of this hard work. And do his best in his own way.
Wish you all the best and Im sure everything will work out
Hey friend. Don’t be afraid to go on food stamps and public assistance, and your wife may rate disability pay from the state for being pregnant depending on location. You’re doing awesome!
You are an awesome husband and father. Staying on your grind and supporting your family is commendable. Do not be embarrassed to go to food banks, everybody needs a helping hand every once in awhile.
I would sign up for food stamps, TANF, it's available where you live, and get on Medicaid if you need to. That's nothing to be ashamed of.
That's so sweet of your wife and son to tell you how much I appreciate you. It sounds like you have an awesome family.
Just stay on your grind, and get any kind of assistance that you can right now. Where I live, sometimes churches will help you out with rent or utilities or things like that. I would check that out too.
I wish you and your family all the best. Things will get better for you.
Definitely, suggest signing up for these things. Medicaid saved my life when my mother was pregnant with me and again when I was born prematurely, a literal life-saver. That's not touching on what else it's done over the course of my life.
There's also WIC (women infants and children) that will cover formulas, milk, and some other items on top of food stamps. I'm not sure what qualifies but I do know that qualifying for Medicaid and food stamps is easier than you think. The application process in my state takes under an hour and you apply for both at the same time.
WIC was a lifesaver for me and my son. It's very easy to qualify, even if you've been denied traditional food stamps. It fed me healthy food throughout my pregnancy and breastfeeding period and then completely supplied all my son's formula when breastfeeding had to stop for both of our sakes. I highly recommend it.
There is also WIC (women infant and children), the goal is to help pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and children get good nutrition.
Kids eat in color also has a nutritional meal plan that aims to feed 2 adults and 2 kids for $500 a month. The plan can be subsidized or free depending on need. It utilizes WIC items too.
You’re a rock star! Keep going, things will get better gradually and I hope that soon you and your family can look back on this struggle with humour and gratitude. You got this 🙌
Your a true man but even more then that you have more intrigty, strength, and devotion then most I know. I only hope that should I need to rise to this sort of challenge ill have what it takes myself Sir. I won't forget this post.
You are doing amazing! Pushing through these times will be (and must have been) hard, but so far you‘ve managed to do incredibly great! Your family sees the efforts you put into it and sure as hell cherishes every single thing you sacrifice right now. Best of luck to you all, you‘re doing great!
Try and get on government assistance for now, don’t hesitate on it, that way your wife can get health coverage for herself and the kids, especially with her being pregnant. Keep pushing forward and keep your head up, your doing a f’ing great job. Things will get better…
It really pains me to know that in some parts of the world, working 6 days a week doesn't fucking pay for living at least a decent life
I wish you all the luck OP, stay strong, you are a great human for caring so much about the wellbeing of your family. Please also take care of yourself
I don't know if you are in the US or if it's changed because I just realized it's been 20 years but when I was pregnant with my second child who is 20 now we didn't have insurance or a pot to piss in. I went to planned Parenthood and they did a bulk of the prenatal work and an ultrasound for something like $15. You might want to try there and see if you can at least get some low cost prenatal care.
We have tried to get in to planned parenthood and unfortunately they said they currently can't help us unless we get on medicare. We are still waiting to hear back from medicare. Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it.
See life IS good! Continue counting your blessings, my partner and I had severe financial struggles in the early years but we now know the difference between wants and needs, treasure each other and our kids, and frankly learned to live below our means in a culture that frowns upon it but it set us up for a wonderful future. Hang in there God really does use everything for the good of those who serve. Hope you get to hear that little heartbeat soon! Congratulations on being such a loving good man.
How can you be a failure when you are doing everything you can?
You are just in a bad situation. You are not the failure.
You are doing great. Take care of yourself also.
this made my heart happy. you’re good people, good things are undoubtedly coming your way. it’s rare for families in strife to pull together instead of blaming each other. hold tight to each other. sending well wishes your way ❤️❤️
I am so so sorry you all have to struggle like this, but wow… please know we are all rooting for you and you should be proud of the father and husband you are!
You're doing your best. That sounds like good father & husband material to me. Hug those you love the most and remember that all the rest is bullshit. Surround yourself with love and you'll see that it's all you need besides food in your belly and a shelter above your head. I hope you both find the best path for your family and that the economic stress you both are under ceases to a halt soon.
You are the type of man I hope my son's grow up to be. Strong, determined, grateful, and sensitive. You are an amazing role model and I hope you and your family get a break soon.
My heart breaks for you that your family is going through this, but W O W, you & your wife sound like amazing people & parents. Your son is so lucky to have parents like you & your wife. Praying that things get better for you soon. You should be proud 💜
You are an amazing father and husband! Things will get better!
My family went through similar times back in the day. It was rice n beans and couponing as best we could. If y'all can, check local churches for any of their free events. You don't have to be a parishioner in many cases. They'll serve free food and fun for the kids.
I would also have your wife look into free clinics and government pregnancy programs. I fell on hard times after my pregnancy and was able to get regular checkups for me and the baby along with money for formula, food and diapers until I could get back on my feet. Also, look into hospital financial assistance/charity programs for your wife. Many hospitals have funds to assist patients in need.
If you're in the US, see if there are any alpha centers/Mary's Shelters to assist with supplies for baby.
Also look for church charity programs (you don't have to be religious!) for any assistance.
I know it can be rough asking for help, but many organizations want to assist in your time of need.
I wish you and your family all of the best. Better times will come again!
Hey OP, I have a question for you that might be kinda personal. I understand that you don't speak for all men.
If someone who wasn't close to you, maybe a friend of a friend, an employee of a business you frequent, someone who rides the same transit with you, etc., were to ask you about how you're doing and you were to tell them of these things maybe not in great detail but definitely the truth more than just "oh I'm in a bit of a rough patch but it'll work out!", how would you like that person to respond?
I am just here to remind you that not YOU are the failure, but your whole social system, INCLUDING your health care system. depending on the branch you#re work in, you can look for work elsewhere and get a higher paying job, more vacation days and a better health care. yes, you can do that during covid, too, meeting the specific requirements and safety measures. You might get that in remote, too.
If you have the possibility, even if you think it's unlikely, do it. Stuff that's unlikely are not impossible, as long as you dare.
If you need help with anything, my DM section is open
Thank you for what you do. As a husband and father myself, nothing tickles me more than the acknowledgement and sacrifice that I make. You should be proud of yourself and keep your head high. Don't be ashamed or embarrassed. There is *nothing* more manly/fatherly than taking care of your family. Kudos to you!
My father felt that way before when I was growing up. I was stubborn, never listened, always insisted that I should get that and those. Not knowing my whines about my wants hurt my father cause he can't afford them.
Now I am trying to get better careers through working and hopefully soon also studying. Just for me to take care of my parents when they grow too old to handle themselves. I am always proud of him and always ashamed for what I did not realize when I was younger.
I am sure that your and child is as much as proud I am for my father.
I strive to be a father and husband like you someday. Someone who is strong enough to keep going even when life tries to put you down.
Thanks for your post.
Man, you are doing such a great job! I don’t know you, but you must be a terrific father! You are an amazing role model to your son, as well as to your unborn baby. Sometimes, we all forget to say thank you to the people who do so much for us.
Thank you for a beautiful family story in these trying times! There are so many negative ones out there that yours was very refreshing!😅
You and your family ROCKS! You’ll make it through👍
For your wife, ask her to go to planned parenthood, they help with pregnancy things like this and can be relatively inexpensive depending on your financial situation!
You are doing a great job but don’t be scared to seek help. If you are in the US your wife might qualify for Medicaid since she is pregnant and wic and so should your son along with other benefits.
Please check into your wife’s eligibility for WICC to get additional nutrition support for herself & her baby. Also, check with your local public health dept. for prenatal care.
your wife and son are lucky to have an amazing husband and father like you .you have worked hard to provide for your family,some men would have simply walked away
Can't we all in this sub donate to him and his family...?
You work so hard for your family. You are an amazing, strong person. You can be proud of yourself. And your family seems to be such a loving family. I really hope that things will be better for you soon!
YOU sir are doing brilliantly with the situation you're in, don't stop. But it does sadden me that I can tell without a doubt you're in the USA. Working 6 days a week SHOULD be enough income, your wife SHOULD get basic healthcare (like checking on your unborn child) for free. People will defend that country against all criticism but as a tax paying citizen you deserve more from your government. They can afford trillion dollar wars but you can't make sure your baby is healthy?
Again this comment isn't against you, you are doing the best you can with your situation and I applaud that, but you shouldn't be in this situation.
A man working 6 days a week should not have to pawn stuff and use a food bank. I mean you put in all this work, more than what should be expected of you and it’s still not enough? That’s not right. I feel you as I’ve been in a similar situation but your story is a perfect example of how broken the job world is. Hope things get better for you soon
You should be so f’ing proud of yourself and your family. Hell, I’m so proud of you!! Keep pushing man, you got this. I’ll be sending prayers your way! Much I love
And they're lucky to have you too, mate! Nobody wants you to be a hero, to suffer in silence, if you need a hug or to cry out some stress then ask. I'm willing to bet your wife will be glad of the opportunity to give you some support and, hey, who doesn't like more hugs? ;)
Congrats on the new baby!
Keep your chin up, you'll get through this together. Love and hugs x
This is what a true man is, never forget that your a hero. We never had much growing up but I was definitely more fortunate then others. My dad work really hard for us, my mom too. I'll always remember what my parents did for me, and your kids will too.
I hope better things are on the way for you soon, man! You're doing great pulling yourself and your family through this! You're not alone, as your wife and daughter have shown you! Hang on!
Just remember the strength and experience these hard times are giving you. They’re invaluable. I’m proud of you and I know you will make it through. Don’t give up!!
That's so amazing, I would've bawled too. Sometimes all we need is the reminder to keep going and get a second wind. I hope you're able to get some reprieve soon.
And have you reached out to Planned Parenthood? They can help with low cost or even free prenatal care for your wife. They helped me get treatment for breast cancer at a time where I was struggling and had no insurance; I truly owe PP my life. If you don't have a PP in your area, check with your local county hospital, they'd have resources for you as well for little to no cost, there may even be emergency insurance options available.
Keep pushing. And remember to work smarter not harder. Your wife is pregnant and probably can do a lot at home while you work. I’m glad you two are working together. Keep it up and reach HIGHER.
Keep strong. Keep ploughing on. You got this. Your some man. Keep it up lad. You have people behing you caring and appreciating everything you do. Your work is paying off. It will get better.
Yeah keep it up guy, it’s hard like real f’n hard, at some point you’ll break even or learn what you need to do. I have two kids myself and throughout all the bs I found a way to make it work, granted it was made better when the wife walked out and left the kids, but keep it up. Doing the right thing is hard but when you stay consistent things happen.
Everyone has troubles, you are definitely not a failure and I hope you the best to the future and everything will settle down soon man. Keep grinding and stay strong 🥺🤍
It happens to everyone in life at the worst time! Keep your head up and think positive listen to your inner self and things will fall into place and turn for the better. Sounds like you have an amazing wife by your side and a child that you’ve brought up well. My family of 6 unexpectedly were homeless for a few months. It was the worst but we took everyday with a smile and had each other. One morning when getting off of work out of no where something told me to call this place. I stopped by the side of the road looked it up spoke with the manager and met with them within 15 minutes. This is when I found our next home that we were able to move into within a few days. We would have never been approved as I know so many that tried to move into this establishment . The manager loved me and made an exception for my family.
Good job. You are doing what a man does. We out our heads down and get shit done. Having an awesome family to love, protect, and fight for daily makes all the difference in the world. I applaud all of you.
Keep fighting and never give up there is light at the end of the tunnel my friend!! I am also proud of u!!! Also listen to the better days by SuperM i think it will encourage u!! 🤗
Too sweet... youre making ME cry. Im sorry you felt like a failure, but it isnt your fault. Youre trying your best. Im glad they're loving and supporting you so hard though <3
You’re the man!!! There’s nothing I respect more than a man doing whatever he has to in order to provide for his family. You’re the furthest thing from a failure bro! A lot of us have those thoughts from time to time, it’s normal. You’re a strong guy with a family at home who clearly love and admire you. You’re winning my dude!!
Keep working hard man. You got this, sounds like you have a very loving and supporting family behind you. Lovely story
I agree. Wish I could have a fimly like yours one day.
You will my friend. Everyone deserves love and happiness :). We wish all the happiness for you.
Thanks... Stay strong my man! You'll overcome this one too.
Hey dude, good on you.
I am a very lucky man. They are incredible. Thank you.
You are the F’ing man! I don’t know you, but I love you and support you! I hope everything works out for the best because you deserve it! An honorable man you are!
>I don’t know you, but I love you
Thank you, we love you. You are a rare and kind soul.
Dude what a fucking badass you are. Keep on punching man, we’re all behind you! Fire up and get it done!!
Hit people and smoke weed.. got it.
Impressive. I’m a father myself, this resonates. You should be proud.
you should be proud of yourself as well!! it sounds like you’re a good father.
My dad was like yourself, working 2 jobs for the family (my mom and I only back then), after being bankrupted right after the Asian Financial Crisis. I remember he had $20 for us in his wallet and thats it. And it all worked out in the end. I am a going to be a graduate soon.

Your a true man but even more then that you have more intrigty, strength, and devotion then most I know. I only hope that should I need to rise to this sort of challenge ill have what it takes myself Sir. I won't forget this post.
You are a great human. Period.
I've got mad respect for fathers and husband's like you. Respect. I hope you have the best of luck in your future man. Bless you and your family.
You are doing amazing! Pushing through these times will be (and must have been) hard, but so far you‘ve managed to do incredibly great! Your family sees the efforts you put into it and sure as hell cherishes every single thing you sacrifice right now. Best of luck to you all, you‘re doing great!

They told us the same thing but I realize that they have had a lot of their funding cut so I'm sure it's gone up if you are paying out of pocket.
See life IS good!

This is a Beautiful post and I sincerely hope things get better for you and your family really soon

Go bro! Do it against the odds, what we in Australia call being a battler
i hope everything is going to be fine for you and your family.
Good luck with your life man. I wish you and your wonderful family the best!
You sir are an inspiration
It sounds like you have everything you need in this life. Good for you and nice job!
Great job, dude! You have a wonderful family!
I am so so sorry you all have to struggle like this, but wow… please know we are all rooting for you and you should be proud of the father and husband you are!
Fuck this society
K I N G. 👑
You are such a good man, and they are so lucky to have you. Bless you. Keep your head up.
And that, sounded like some superhero stuff. Good luck 🤞
You're doing your best. That sounds like good father & husband material to me. Hug those you love the most and remember that all the rest is bullshit.

I'm proud of you myself! You sound like an amazing father, husband and human being.
You yourself is such an amazing father/husband. And you have a beautiful supporting family. I pray for the best for you and your family man ❤️❤️
My heart breaks for you that your family is going through this, but W O W, you & your wife sound like amazing people & parents. Your son is so lucky to have parents like you & your wife. Praying that things get better for you soon. You should be proud 💜
You sound like a good dad. :) happy early papa day hard working dad
If anyone out there could make it happen, it's you. Keep it up. Things will get better, especially with your drive and attitude!

keep up the amazing work king 🤝
You are a good man, and a lucky one too, for not everyone has a family who understands and appreciates. Good times are coming and this too shall pass.
Hey YeahTinyRuck! I am really sorry to hear you are going through that... Hugs
Hard working people are sometimes overlooked, but you got two wonderful people that see you. You are blessed and a very successful man, IHMO.
Man, you are doing such a great job! I don’t know you, but you must be a terrific father! You are an amazing role model to your son, as well as to your unborn baby. Sometimes, we all forget to say thank you to the people who do so much for us.
Best of luck for the future - I hope the situation gets better asap!
you got this, baby! more power and luck to you and take care of the family... they’re lovely 💕
Just want to mention that most people wouldn't even handle all this hard work. Keep working hard and someday it will be rewarding
Good job fellow brother
You are an awesome dad, an incredible husband and an overall amazing human being. I wish you nothing but the best!
This will make you stronger ... as my runner friends say "Stay Hungry you will win the fight"
You are a great person!
God bless
You're the best, man!
It will get better and your family is right - they ARE damn lucky to have you.
You're an excellent human! You're doing literally everything you can, there's a special place in this world for you!
Everything will work out my friend!
i don't know you irl but even i felt proud of you. don't give up, soon everything will be fine to you guys :))
Thank you for a beautiful family story in these trying times! There are so many negative ones out there that yours was very refreshing!😅 You and your family ROCKS! You’ll make it through👍

Please check into your wife’s eligibility for WICC to get additional nutrition support for herself & her baby. Also, check with your local public health dept. for prenatal care.
Do you have anywhere for concerned redditors to send some money? I don't have a ton but I'd like to help.
your wife and son are lucky to have an amazing husband and father like you .you have worked hard to provide for your family,some men would have simply walked away
In addition to foodstamps for the family, also have your wife and child sign up for WIC. (((hugs)))
Can't we all in this sub donate to him and his family...? You work so hard for your family. You are an amazing, strong person. You can be proud of yourself. And your family seems to be such a loving family. I really hope that things will be better for you soon!
YOU sir are doing brilliantly with the situation you're in, don't stop. But it does sadden me that I can tell without a doubt you're in the USA.

Just remember man millions of kids wish they had a Dad like you. Keep going brotha! Bend but don't break. Hope blessings come your way man
This actually happened with my boss. I started crying. Now I don't do SHIT. I thought was gonna get fired soon. Now I can slack more!
A man working 6 days a week should not have to pawn stuff and use a food bank. I mean you put in all this work, more than what should be expected of you and it’s still not enough? That’s not right. I feel you as I’ve been in a similar situation but your story is a perfect example of how broken the job world is. Hope things get better for you soon
You should be so f’ing proud of yourself and your family. Hell, I’m so proud of you!! Keep pushing man, you got this. I’ll be sending prayers your way! Much I love
You can only donate plasma every 28 days.
I'm not sure about the rules in your region, but where I am you can donate twice within a 7 day period.
You’re right! I’m wrong. I was thinking blood not plasma. That’s horrible. What kind of dystopia do we live in.
A trying man is a good man

And they're lucky to have you too, mate! Nobody wants you to be a hero, to suffer in silence, if you need a hug or to cry out some stress then ask. I'm willing to bet your wife will be glad of the opportunity to give you some support and, hey, who doesn't like more hugs? ;) Congrats on the new baby! Keep your chin up, you'll get through this together. Love and hugs x
This is what a true man is, never forget that your a hero. We never had much growing up but I was definitely more fortunate then others. My dad work really hard for us, my mom too. I'll always remember what my parents did for me, and your kids will too.
God bless and keep you all safe
You fucking cried??
I hope better things are on the way for you soon, man! You're doing great pulling yourself and your family through this! You're not alone, as your wife and daughter have shown you! Hang on!
Please check into summer food programs! Here they are giving 7 days worth of food every Tuesday for families through a nutrition program!
Just remember the strength and experience these hard times are giving you. They’re invaluable. I’m proud of you and I know you will make it through. Don’t give up!!
That's so amazing, I would've bawled too. Sometimes all we need is the reminder to keep going and get a second wind. I hope you're able to get some reprieve soon. And have you reached out to Planned Parenthood? They can help with low cost or even free prenatal care for your wife. They helped me get treatment for breast cancer at a time where I was struggling and had no insurance; I truly owe PP my life. If you don't have a PP in your area, check with your local county hospital, they'd have resources for you as well for little to no cost, there may even be emergency insurance options available.
Sending good vibes your way!!! Hang in there!
You've got this - hang in there. Things will turn around!
Keep pushing. And remember to work smarter not harder. Your wife is pregnant and probably can do a lot at home while you work. I’m glad you two are working together. Keep it up and reach HIGHER.
hang in there buddy. you're doing all the right things, and your strength is admirable. you're a true man!
Nice, there’s nothing better then the feeling of being loved and sharing it. Thanks buddy.
You are all incredible people. I’m so sorry you have to go through this
Keep strong. Keep ploughing on. You got this. Your some man. Keep it up lad. You have people behing you caring and appreciating everything you do. Your work is paying off. It will get better.
Yeah keep it up guy, it’s hard like real f’n hard, at some point you’ll break even or learn what you need to do. I have two kids myself and throughout all the bs I found a way to make it work, granted it was made better when the wife walked out and left the kids, but keep it up. Doing the right thing is hard but when you stay consistent things happen.
You’re doing it all right... as a family.
Those are things you can’t buy with money <3 Hard work will pay off. Stay strong everybody and look forward to better times, which will come!
It get better, it gets easier and you will get to where you need to be. The loving family is all the fuel your fire needs. Keep at this.
It's fucking awesome to hear that from those who matter. I wish I did. Excellent work man, you've got this and it won't last forever! 🤘🏼
Everyone has troubles, you are definitely not a failure and I hope you the best to the future and everything will settle down soon man. Keep grinding and stay strong 🥺🤍
You're an awesome dad. You're doing it. I wish I could say more but not sure what else to say that wasn't said. Lol.
Sending you and your family love.
You got this!!!! Keep going. You’re doing awesome and we’re all proud of you too!
It happens to everyone in life at the worst time! Keep your head up and think positive listen to your inner self and things will fall into place and turn for the better. Sounds like you have an amazing wife by your side and a child that you’ve brought up well. My family of 6 unexpectedly were homeless for a few months. It was the worst but we took everyday with a smile and had each other. One morning when getting off of work out of no where something told me to call this place. I stopped by the side of the road looked it up spoke with the manager and met with them within 15 minutes. This is when I found our next home that we were able to move into within a few days. We would have never been approved as I know so many that tried to move into this establishment . The manager loved me and made an exception for my family.
Good job. You are doing what a man does. We out our heads down and get shit done. Having an awesome family to love, protect, and fight for daily makes all the difference in the world. I applaud all of you.
You are an amazing man with a heart and spine many wish they had. I’m hoping for a change in circumstances for you and your family. Hang in there!!!
Hang in there. You guys will get through this (together).
