So I already forwarned my bios that christmas was going to be tuff! My brother had moved in and decided thhat he would move and give me a week warning and screw me! There goes christmas money Sad
So I causally mention to the older ones
ME: I know you guys are excited for christmas. But this yr is going to be tight. So mommy might be only able to get you one gift.
DD8: its ok mommy we still have family
DS11: yeah mom family is most important.
I knew right there I was doing somthing right!
DS11 has high functioning autisum and still ia a polite little gentlemen.
In the store the other day he walks up to an older lady and says do you need help mam
The lady commented on how wonderful and thoughtful he was. He alway say exuse me mam or sir in the store and tries to be helpful to everyone. Even offers to help neighbors with yard work.
DD8 does awesome in school is always practing and reading. She's the best little helper and always cleans and helps with chores. She my go to girl kinda of a drama queen though LOL
So I was given a shuffle for her. DD8 birthday was the 7th. It didn't work Sad
However my friend of 15ys bought her one even though she hasn't seen her since she was born.
So now I have to think of a great gift for DS11 these kids are wonderful.
I guess it just burns me up to think of all the undeserving little shit heads that get spoiled all yr round.

They gave you an early Christmas present! Nothing is more rewarding then knowing you are raising great kids which they have shown to be!!! Happy Holidays really it's not about the gifts or what you can give but the memories you can create and the traditions you can pass along. Or as my 6 year old says Christmas is about miseltoe and love!!! LOL

That's great! Sorry about having a rough year financially. I know this all too well. Great job with your kids!

Thanks so much! I just keep reminding myself that. The more you have the less you enjoy it!
I guess I'm just more concerned they will think I'm a poopy mom.

Hey there!

Thanks to you for reading all my stuff here. I do the best I can with navigating this life and want everyone here to know that I truly respect and enjoy being a part of this group.

I wish I could say that my situation with DH and SD was a happy one (well it is with DH anyway) but I'm thankful I have a great relationship with my own daughter and I really love that the two of them get along well.

It's great to hear that your kids are so sweet and well mannered and positive posts are always wonderful to read. Smile
