About Help me please!!!

Help me please!!! started this conversation

Im only doing this because of my kids... If things were going well for my family then I wouldn't be asking for help. I have 2 beautiful girls who mean the world to me. The oldest is 1yrs old and the second is 2 months as of yesterday. This year has been a very rocky year for my family and I. My husband is having a hard time finding work since we have moved here from California, and since we are living with my mom, she has been trying her best to support each and everyone of us. But my mom can only do so much and my family is just barely making it through this cold weather. Growing up, it was just my mother and I. My dad had passed in 1992. My mom was always working on holidays so I never had a christmas with my mom. Since I got married things has been a little bit better when it comes to holidays, like this year's thanksgiving was the first time I had thanksgiving dinner with my mom in such a long time. It felt like our family was whole again. I had my second eldest in Oct of 09. I was happy to see my baby alive and healthy, but sad because we couldn't afford to buy her any clothing. Thank god that I had a daughter before that I saved her clothes and that is what my second eldest has been wearing. Our bills are piling up and finally just a week after thanksgiving my husband finds a seasonal job that ends sometime before christmas. Im not worried about my husband and I because we can treat ourselves later, but my mom has been through alot. Im asking for someone to please help my family this christmas. I want my kids to have a great first christmas, something I never had. Who knows about our future, if my family will be together again next year with my mom. My mom deserves alot but our financial issues are in the way of giving her a christmas that she will enjoy with her only grandkids. I just pray that next year her face has not disappear off the face of this earth. Please someone help my family!!!!

DARLING,

If my husband can barely take care of my kids when I am home then imagine when Im not home.......And as for my mom she is not willing to babysit while Im away, I really dont blame her. Trust me.....I tried it all already. Im not trying to talk bad about my husband but he is a frickn lazy ass. Anyhow, I did daycare and while the caretaker/teacher was on the phone after putting my daughter on a slide, she falls off and gets rushed to the hospital. So Im having a hard time with trusting any daycare. Soooo............thanks for responding, but your not responding to anyone who has not tried it all. maybe you should ask questions next time or maybe you should just keep it moving because you dont know half of what I have been through. Thank You.........Merry Christmas to you............

Darling,

Since husband is having a hard time finding work & is at home,then you get a job. Hubby can stay with the kids while you work. Maybe, you & hubby both could find a job working opposite shifts. That way one of you will be home with the kids. That should take some stress off of your mother.
