Rough time (vent)
So my youngest will be 5 months Sunday on my oldest son's 6th birthday.... Things have not been easy lately though. Back on May 6th my husband was in a wreck... That wreck totaled our van and all the car seats but the newborn car seat we were told to replace even though me and the kids were at home. They said that the impact would have caused possible damage to them. Well we got the info in to late for insurance to replace them. (Well my mother did because we were under their insurance and on paper the van was theirs.) So we've been using carseats my parents bought for if they transported the kids, well my now three year old barely fits in his (he's two big). The car our friend is letting us fits my bio kids but not my two stepsons so it's caused fights. Everything is falling on me because my husband's back was injured and instead of it getting better it's gotten worse. My husband's uncle is the only one helping us out financially because my husband is on disability and normally donated plasma to help cover what his disability didn't. I can't go get a job though countless people have told me to but my husband can't even take care of our three boys while I take a relaxing bath. We are running low on pull ups and diapers and animal food. My stress is so high lately and I'm struggling to mantain the house because my husband used to take care of most of it. Suddenly everything is landing on me and we are broke. 4/5 of my boys had birthdays this month or the start of August. We barely got them anything. I don't drive so I can't go to the store with the kids so my poor husband still has to drive when he shouldn't be. Today the chiropractor he's been seeing since the accident told him he has to see a doctor and might need outside help. Please don't suggest a lawyer we already are but until the case is handled idk what to do to make money and get the things we need...
Edit: no my kids don't go to daycare or school yet though my oldest will be starting this year. I believe your judgemental ass didn't understand he can not physically take care of our children at this time. It's not the matter of simply stepping up because normally he's a very active dad even with his previous disability this is the matter of him physically not being able to care for our children so that task is mine alone now. (He does try to care for the older two while I'm breastfeeding or cooking but can't lift the baby in his car seat to load them up or out of his bed so how the fu k could I work as you suggested.) If your just gonna hate done waste my time commenting I need support during this not more people hating... Also outside help has now been made needed and there is a possibility of him needing back surgery.
