200 yuan lasts for half a month! I can’t praise the thousands of “hard-working and frugal” mothers on Douyin

I would like to ask mothers, if you spend 200 yuan to buy groceries, how many days will it last?

Nowadays, pork ribs cost more than 70 yuan per kilogram, beef brisket costs more than 40 yuan and you can only buy a few pieces, seasonal strawberries cost more than 30 yuan and you can only buy a box, green peppers and green onions cost 10 yuan per kilogram...

For a family of three, if lunch and dinner are based on the minimum configuration of one meat and one vegetable, three meals a day, 200 yuan can only last for two or three days at most.

What's more, when children are growing up, they need to supplement various nutrients, including chicken, fish, meat, eggs, vegetables and fruits, all of which are indispensable.

Calculating this way, 200 yuan is only enough for one or two days. A trip to the supermarket will leave less than a few dozen yuan.

But there is a stay-at-home mother who managed to survive for nearly half a month with only 200 yuan!

In order to supplement her child's nutrition, she used the money she saved from her teeth to feed her child eggs, vegetables and minced meat.

Facing the half-empty can of pickles, holding the baby in his left hand, he freed his right hand to pick a few pickles, eat a mouthful of rice, pick a few pickles, eat a mouthful of rice...

< p> In a few minutes, she finished a precious meal in her busy life of raising a baby.

On days like this, she did not just do it occasionally to lose weight, but she had been doing it for 12 full days!

What is even more shocking is that if you click on the comment, you will find:

She is not the only one who lives such a sad life, there are many such stay-at-home mothers. .

Spending 200 yuan for half a month was scolded as a prodigal

They live worse than nannies

Under that video, one mother’s reply was particularly interesting Attention:

Who could have imagined? Netizens thought she was exaggerating at first, until she gave such a bill:

The children ate alone, and she bought bad tomatoes for 5 cents per catty, and 2 yuan for a bunch of bad vegetables.

Come back and cut off the bad parts, stir-fry a pot of vegetables and eat it for a day, and the cost is only 3 yuan.

Rice costs 112 yuan to buy 50 kilograms, which is just over 2 yuan per kilogram.

How difficult is it to swallow a pound of rice?

She ate such unimaginable food not for half a month or a month, but for three and a half years, in order to help her family pay off their debts.

What is sad is that in the face of everyone's concerns about her health, she optimistically comforted everyone:

These shocking things may be individual cases, but more importantly, What pains me is that the general situation is not much better.

In the responses from mothers, although the expenses ranged from 200 yuan for a week, to 200 yuan for three or four days, to 200 yuan for one trip to the supermarket, the situations were different, but the same was true:

No need to look carefully, you will find two words written between the words: "Children."

For the sake of my children, I eat so frugally, and even more so in other aspects.

I haven’t bought new clothes for a long time. I only threw away the cosmetics when I couldn’t pick them out after using them. I carry the same bags back and forth, and if you look closely, they are worn out on all sides.

Children’s clothes should be the latest ones with good materials and fabrics. No matter how expensive the toiletries are, buy big brands. Safety is the most important thing. As long as they are good, strollers, crawling mats, toys, etc., no matter how expensive they are, you should buy them.

Before giving birth to a child, any mother is not a little fairy.

The latest clothes, shoes and bags, and a manicure every once in a while.

For a fee of 200 yuan, you can finish a big meal, and you also have to check in at an internet celebrity store.

After giving birth to a child, consumption plummets.

Life is all about the present, and no matter how close you are, there is no way to go.

Can you imagine it?

There was a stay-at-home mother who took her first trip in her life. She suffered from depression due to long-term hard work with her children and housework, and her family felt sorry for her.

Saving to the extreme and downgrading consumption is not the worst thing for stay-at-home mothers.

What makes them heartbroken is the lack of financial resources:

Every time they reach out to their husbands for living expenses, their self-esteem is trampled on at will.

Palms up

The humbleness of relying on others

Actress Liu Mintao, who became famous for dramas such as "The Pretender" and "Nirvana in Fire", gave a speech on "Mid-aged Rebellion" I told a story like this:

During the seven years I was a stay-at-home mother, I once traveled to Japan with my ex-husband and saw an ice cream shop in front of Kiyomizudera Temple.

At that time, she really wanted to eat a matcha ice cream. She was penniless, but she never asked her husband for it.

Matcha ice cream, a small dessert, is easily accessible to my husband. In her eyes, she has to look at people's faces and look up to them, and it's hard to even say it out loud.

With celebrities like this, life as a stay-at-home mother as an ordinary person is even more suffocating.

Every time I asked my husband for living expenses, I kept doing psychological construction and asking for help online.

See if there are any so-called high EQ and humorous methods that can collect living expenses without embarrassing yourself.

It is obvious that he has received a normal advance for family expenses, but it seems that he is asking for charity from his husband, and his posture is more humble than that of a worker asking for a salary.

Picture source: @I was shocked at that time

This kind of humbleness further fueled the husband's arrogance. One man even angrily scolded his wife: "I wipe my mouth with a tissue. I never No need for a rag, it’s a waste of money!”

A piece of paper towel costs less than a few cents. But the love between husband and wife and the hard work of the mother of the child are not even worth a few cents in his eyes!

There is also a man whose living expenses are paid meal by meal. If the money is not enough, he even asks his wife to pay for it herself!

"Aunt Su", a runaway housewife who became popular on the Internet last year, said in an interview that her husband would be accurate down to every dollar.

If she cannot remember the whereabouts of any money, her husband will ask sternly: "Did you spend it on your mother or your brother?"

They all swore before the marriage. : "I will support you."

As a result, after marriage, he glared: "I am spending money to support you!"

You regard him as your child's father and a comrade who works hand in hand, but he regards you as a poverty alleviation target.

What’s even more chilling is that when you’ve been busy all day, he comes back with all kinds of complaints:

“Why isn’t the meal ready yet? Why is the house so messy? You’ve been at home all day. What did you do? ”

You couldn’t help but retort: ??“What about you? Do you just eat, play on your phone, and sleep every day?”

In the end, they said: “ I’m the one making the money, and it’s my name that’s written on the real estate certificate. Don’t you know who’s staying in the hotel?”

Even if you keep your housework in order, people still don’t like you.

In a certain Korean program, a husband disliked his wife who had been raising children at home for many years and did not pay attention to body management. She became fat and ugly, which made him lose face.

What is even more frightening than her husband’s complaints and dislike is:

Living in such a humble posture for a long time, many mothers not only lose the courage to refute, but also constantly reflect on whether What didn't you do well enough?

Bao Wenjing once humbled herself into dust in her marriage.

Because of a joke from Bao Beier, he lost weight like crazy; he was so obsessed with cleaning that he was almost pathological, just because he was afraid of being accused of not being able to do housework even though he was working full time.

So much so that when I received the program invitation for "Wife's Romantic Travel 2", my first reaction was: "I finally don't have to clean anymore."

If you are interested in some For stay-at-home mothers, although self-reflection makes them physically and mentally exhausted, if they are still within the tolerance range:

Influenced by their husbands, their children’s dislike and contempt for them is the deepest pain in their hearts. A knife.

On the variety show, Wang Yan's son not only complained about his mother: "I only know how to spend money randomly and waste my father's money all day long";

He also directly called her "pig head" and "hands on" Hit her.

Every word and every tone of the child's voice reveals his disgust and even contempt for his mother's "incompetence".

All the grievances were endured for the sake of the children, but the children did not appreciate it.

The home that everyone now despises and that is so thankless is no longer the beautiful home that I imagined when I gave up my job and ruined my career prospects.

The cheapest labor force

The most willing contribution

In the eyes of the family, a stay-at-home mother is really the one who only knows how to spend money and do some housework. A person of little value?

In the movie "Half the Sky", what the stay-at-home mother hears all day long is "What you do is not a big deal" and "We can do without you"...

One day, She finally plucked up the courage and chose to run away from home. As a result, the whole family found that their lives were completely messed up.

No one makes breakfast, does homework with the children, serves tea to the father-in-law, massages the feet of the mother-in-law, washes clothes, irons clothes, buys groceries...

After marriage, men go to work. , and women are multi-tasking as nutritionists, nannies, live-in nannies, etc., and they work several jobs by themselves.

The working hours of working mothers are from 9 to 6, and the hard work is 996;

The working hours of stay-at-home mothers are 007, and they are on call at any time.

Life is endless, everything is important and urgent.

Their contribution cannot be measured in terms of money and value.

I sincerely hope that every man can see, understand and cherish the efforts of stay-at-home mothers.

I hope that the example of "200 yuan to support half a month" will no longer appear in any stay-at-home mother.
