Again, I’m only taking this seriously because I’m having it thrown back seriously…

Joe shouldn’t be forced to work to help his family put food on the table - how this family doesn’t qualify for some kind of substantial support given the Mum is caring for so many old folks is downright criminal…

But in the reality of their situation, they’re stuck living on the Dad’s meager wage, with the Mum as a fulltime carer, and a bed of old people in addition to a young child.

It’s a shite situation with no real way out, but it could be at least a little bit better with Joe helping out in some way or another - whether that be working himself or even just helping around the house so Mum can go work to help out.

That’s the reality of struggle, when your family is struggling just to stay afloat, everyone who can has to help keep the ship going, even those who shouldn’t really have to. If you think that’s a Tory argument, I really don’t know what to tell you

Edit: Also, this is the last I’ll be chatting on this thread - so I’ll probably read what you write, but don’t expect any replies
