This time of year is so hard
I LOVE holidays. The music, lights, snow, and togetherness. But it's so hard emotionally because I've always drained my savings by the end of the year and struggle to get presents for my family. I so desperately want to be stable so I can repay them for all they've done for me and my kids. I was able to get my kids and nephew presents this year. I didn't want anything, but my sister and parents got me lots of little things, and my dad "hired" my 6 year old to do chores so he could get me a little present. I've cried so much this last week. My family is so amazing and supportive. I don't want to disappoint them.

Is there any way you can show them love and gratitude a different way other than spending money?

I do. I help them with anything I can and make sure my kids and I always thank them for helping us.

I’m sure they just love you and your LO to pieces and want to help in any way. Sorry you’re feeling like you can’t give “enough” back. We all go through diff seasons in life. Maybe one day you’ll be in a place where you can afford to buy them gifts as a gesture of gratitude. Until then, I’m sure they’d want nothing more than for you to enjoy what they can do for you and not feel so burdened.
