Used to do this when we were newlyweds just starting out 🤍

The sacrifices women and men make in a family often goes unnoticed. Kudos to them.

[analien]

To all the women out there who have done this for us, we love you incredibly much. Y’all deserve the world, hope everyone is in a good place in life

This makes me wanna cry when my husband and I went homeless in LA there were nights I ate a little and gave him the rest even if he tried to resist taking it for 20 minutes. This really touched a soft spot. Hard times really show how much you love each other

UPDATE: for everyone who's commented and asked nicely. When covid shut down CA and the housing market rose we lost our home when our landlord decided to sell it instead of rent. We are moved back to our home state Ok and now own our own home, our children are well happy and healthy and I am beyond blessed everyday to have came out of the situation. Yes we worked but the income/outcome ratio was very tight due to being in hotels and not wanting our kids to sleep on the streets of LA (not the safest) but thankfully tight budgets got us where we need to be. For those asking what kind of man. My husband did more heavy lifting than I ever could have for our family. This man sacrificed so much for me and our kids. It doesn't matter what any negative comments say I love him and he loves me through thick and thin no matter the struggle

Reading these comments makes me grateful for the sacrifices my parents made for me. Their love is immeasurable.

I always do that to my kids. I pretend I ate. Started when I was broke and now it's our little silent conversation

[ElijahBakesDessertArt]

My husband did this for me when I was pregnant and we were broke. He would save the $5 vouchers he got from work so he could buy a meal enough for us to have a mini "restaurant" dates at home. I'll never stop loving that man💜

[yeetboy]

Its really heart breaking that this issue is sooo common. Just reading all the comments made me realize how much I took financial stability for granted. Love you dad and mom.

Still doing this for my wife and kids. Times have been tough, unfortunately I have no family left on my side except my siblings, and little to no support on my wife's side. However I am fortunate enough to be a stay at home dad while I recover from some pretty extensive grief and stuff like ptsd, and I help my brothers as much as I can with the small concrete company they are trying to build. So hopefully I'll be back on my feet soon and be able to work more when my kids are a bit older.

My mom always did this when we were younger. She raise us alone 😢❤ we really taught she's always full. Despite working all day. Now that we are both grown-up and earning, my older brother and I spoil her soo much ❤❤ mother's love is just on another level their strength and resilience is on another level

My granny said she used to skip dinner sometimes cause there was only enough for her husband and 8 kids. She said she didn’t want him going hungry cause he was doing 12+ hours in the tobacco/cotton fields and she wanted him to be fed. I almost cried hearing that.

My mom used to do this without saying anything to me and my brother, we learned and started slipping small amounts of Christmas and Birthday money into her wallet for food and groceries. She worked nights and or days when we were young and still showed up to our sporting events and cooked dinner after our practice or helped with schoolwork. Ill never forgot the times we all sat down eating dinner together, the homecooked food together was by far the most important part of my childhood. A mothers love is something few get to feel and understand

It’s my first time seeing society appreciate woman even if they always sacrifice and love their family deeply … i feel healed when i see that society appreciate us😊

My dad used to do this after my parents separated, I never noticed when I was younger but I realized it a bit later in life. He was always sick and struggled to work so I worked a bunch of random jobs in middle school and high school and tried to make it up to him. He wasn’t perfect, but he was an amazing father. I still love and miss you old fart

[cozyhall]

I lost so much weight in the last six months from shorting myself on meals to make sure my babies ate. Queen to queen, I see you all. You matter.

[miraculousjellyfishh]

It took me SO MANY YEARS to realize why my single mom would never eat at the same time as me and my siblings when I was a kid and when I did it literally broke my heart

[shuntacooper]

I used to do this with my husband when we struggled together too. You know who is worth the struggle. I lost my honey in July of 2023 and I miss him everyday. We had 12 good years. RIL Ravis Wallace. I'll love and miss you forever.
Edited: I really appreciate EVERYONE for EVERYTHING. The kind words, the prayers, the condolences, I promise you nothing is going unnoticed. My honey was a special kind of dude. He was for real one of a kind. He drew people to him, and he was a good person. He was so funny and we laughed for the majority of the 12 years we were together. I loved him and I there was no doubt that he loved me too. I miss my boo, but I got to take it one day at a time because that's the only way you get by when you lose your best friend...

[boxedbutbetter]

I remember skipping breakfast and lunch a lot so we'd have enough for the week. My husband still doesn't know that when we sat down for dinner it was often my first meal of the day. That was years ago. I almost forgot about those years until I saw this.

[emazair]

I have seen you guys too much, I ain’t settling for less! ❤

[williamb.]

If they were with you when you had nothing, they deserve to be with you when you have everything💪

My sweet 5 year old actually started to do that for me. I usually let my kids order what they want and finish what they can't finish. I realised lately my daughter would leave alot of food and tell me she's full when I know she's not. I thought she was going through a phase but realised soon enough it was not the case. I asked her one day and she did say she didn't want me to be hungry. I needed to assured her it's ok and I'm used to it. I rather she eat fully and happily.
