Can I vent for a second...
I'm feeling pretty low and upset right now guys... When my fiance and I decide to start trying for our first child we were in pretty great financial standing!!! We were ahead on bills and weren't stressing about anything... And then the week we get our BFP, everything went to hell... Our water heater completely burst in our basement, flooding half of it.. That was over $600.. Then my fiance's car decides to die so he went ahead and traded it in so we would both have reliable vehicles which added a new car payment plus highered our insurance... Over oven broke this week, but thankfully my handsome man figured out how to fix it, after buying a $50 dollar part... On Top of all this we have two large breed dogs to feed 5 cats that I've yet to be able to get rid of... Oh and did I mention that my tooth busted right after I got my BFP, so I am in extreme pain and having to take Tylenol every day which scares me. I'm so scared I'm going to hurt our child... Even though my Dr said the stress I was putting on my body from being in so much pain might hurt the baby more... I don't have dental insurance And now can't find a job! Our savings is gone. I'm heart broken right now...
So I made the decision go to an income based dental clinic for my tooth, and I'll need almost $300 to have it checked and removed, which is way cheaper but still.. I decided to ask my parents for a little bit of help. And I get a big fat no. And guys it hurts... I have given my parents money for stupid thinks like alcohol or movies or things for them even when I didn't really have it, because I adore my parents and want to help them... It just hurts when they refuse to help me because they spent their money on a huge flat screen tv... But they are always "broke"...
Sorry this is so long... I just needed to let all that go so I can pick myself up again and figure things out for my family..
