እኔ ሳጣ ልጄ ጥርስ አወጣ

Meaning

This proverb expresses a poignant irony and the burden of compounding problems. It means that just when a person (the parent) is already struggling or facing a shortage ('When I lacked'), a new, often significant, demand or need arises from their dependents ('my child grew teeth,' symbolizing the need for solid food and increased expenses). It highlights how difficulties can accumulate and exacerbate a precarious situation at the worst possible time.
