“We’re born alone and we die alone” you were born alone? Your mom wasn’t there?

Everyone here wakes up angry, leaves stressed, and comes back a combination of those plus exhausted. There is minimal time for me, the emotional backboard for the house.

Sure it’s great when people repeat empty cliche phrases to you, but knowing all days won’t be like this and that it won’t last forever doesn’t make any of these days easier at all. Pretty much every day is really fucking hard and doing 90% of it by yourself makes it all the more intense. I don’t care that he may not cry for five hours tomorrow, I don’t care right now if he barely cries at all starting a week from now. I care that I’m at the end of what I can do and it’s still nowhere close to enough. I care that he DID cry for five hours today and for seven hours the day before yesterday. I care that this is shitty right now and no amount of wonderfullness in the future is genuinely going to help me RIGHT NOW. what the fuck kind of response is that? “I feel like shot right now.” “Yeah but that’s just right now. You won’t always feel like shit”. Wow that really ducking helps. Thanks so much🙏🏽

It’s awful that we have to take our siblings everywhere and since it really is more than inconvenience for us (almost an impossible undertaking with our own responsibilities), that in turn THEY feel bad about it and feel guilty when they can’t help it and haven’t done anything wrong. And we feel bad because it’s not their fault and they still need to get those places, but also can’t help but fucking HATE it because it’s not our fucking responsibility

I’m angry and sad

A lot of people in the replies to this seemingly have no idea what “class” is.

It’s not a set of values or something you automatically earn after college or like some mysterious inherent quality your parents pass down to you.

(Like, maybe your parents have enough money/assets where they can sustain you through economic insecurity, but let’s be honest…that’s not most people’s situation.)

If you are struggling with bills, if you don’t have savings, if you constantly question even small purchases, if spending a few thousand dollars on a vacation seems like a distant dream…you are not middle class.

And most importantly, saying you are not middle class is not an attack on your character.

Instead it’s a reminder to fight for your own economic interests, and not to let companies, your boss, or politicians trick you into working against yourself by believing you’re part of the “mythical middle.”

What’s more, if your first response to “you’re not middle class!” is to treat it like an attack on your character? Then you really need to stop and examine what you think about lower-class people.

Americans like to quote Kurt Vonnegut, that ‘socialism never took root in America because Americans see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.’

What that politely obscures is why Americans see themselves as future rich people: they despise the poor, even if they themselves are poor, and so would rather see themselves as “middle class” rather than ever see themselves as “poor.”

I would also like to add on this that if you are paying a mortgage on a home, but it’s a 30 year mortgage…you’re NOT middle class. Sorry!

“But by these definitions, almost NOBODY I know in the USA qualifies as middle class?!?!” Yep. Correct. Turns out the result of several decades of a “disappearing middle class” is almost everybody is poor.
