Food cravings are a normal part of life and one of the best things would be the fact that we’re able to satisfy our cravings when we want to. Unfortunately for this family, it seems like something as simple as satisfying cravings may not be possible.

Just recently, a Malaysian mother of 3 shared her feelings onto a Twitter page saying,

“I just want to rant as I’ve got nowhere to express my feelings. I am a mother to 3 children and I’m not sure if anyone feels the same, but I really want to eat durian.”

“I’ve voiced out to my husband previously that I want to eat durian, but he just kept quiet as we aren’t stable financially”, she continued.

She mentioned that her cravings for durian is so strong that when they pass by durian stalls near the side of the road, she’d feel so sad that she’d cry.

“I have to hide my tears because I don’t want my husband to know that I’m crying or think I’m demanding”, she added.

My husband earns RM50 a day 

“I’ve just given birth not long ago to our 3rd child and my husband works as a mamak. He is paid RM50 a day and after buying diapers and milk, we’d have no money left”, she said.

She added that the only time they’d get decent food is if her husband brings home leftovers from the mamak.

“Back then my cravings were all under RM5 and my husband could just buy it for me, I don’t know why I’m craving for something so expensive. I realised that after giving birth to our 3rd child, my emotions have been very volatile and it’s slowly getting to a point where if I don’t get my cravings satisfied, I would even dream about it and wake up feeling worst”, she mentioned.

She then ended her post saying that nobody could really understand what she’s feeling, and many would think of her as demanding, including her husband.

Malaysians react

Many netizens empathised on her situation and some were commenting that she needs to understand her current circumstance.

“I understand. Sometimes we would really crave for something until we cry for it, but we just don’t say anything as we want to make sure we don’t hurt those around us. Our hormones change all the time and sometimes our body will demand for something. I hope everything gets better for you. Remember than you’re not demanding, it’s normal.”

“It’s not that your husband doesn’t want to, but he just really cannot afford it. He only earns RM50 a day and you have 3 kids.”
