I watched growing up poor in America. Understandably there are many people that grow up poor in America including my husband & myself. However the people that you interviewed in the episode were a very poor choice. It makes viewers wonder where were the fathers & why was there no mention of there ability to support those whom they created. Also who is poor that can afford the piercings the one mother displayed. Lots of excuses & blame. No measures used to teach how to be frugal like gardening, canning, clothes given away for free.
