'It's a real feeling of hopelessness at the minute. People are being drip fed information, they're being told about a bit of support but not much else.'
A mum from Northern Ireland has spoken about her worries about not being able to plan for the future due to the cost of living crisis.
Alison told Belfast Live she and other parents she has spoken to feel hopeless at the minute. She added: "The rising cost of living over the last six months is the first thing I think of when budgeting for the week and month. Cutting back, making decisions on where best to spend my money that week is a constant at the moment.
"As we have no Executive in Northern Ireland, it's worse for parents and families here in my opinion. Not only have we got to contend with the pandemic and rising cost of living, we actually have no government, and we don't know if we're coming or going. "After the pandemic all you want to do is be hopeful and optimistic but just can't because there's so much uncertainty."
Charlene Brooks, Parenting NI Chief Executive said the results of their survey are "very concerning." She added: "There is no doubt that parents are feeling anxious about their family life due to the rising cost of living.
