This year, last minute, I had to move out into an apartment by myself, 33 weeks pregnant, with a toddler, and myself being on disability.

Right now, I am looking into payment plans for my sons Christmas and the rest of baby necessities on Amazon. Had to go to a food bank for the first time recently as well. Also, i had my first wreck after 12 years of driving, and a few days later I had a dental emergency and the only dentist that could help didn’t accept my insurance, so that was all out of pocket.

Near my breaking point and I just don’t want to stress any more before baby gets here.

Every year I go to my moms and get my mom, stepdad, two stepsisters, a nephew, and two nieces a gift. There is another niece by marriage and not related but I’m not even sure if she’s coming because my stepsister and her dad divorced. Also my dad who lives in another county so gas money for visiting him, plus gift.

I’m considering saying I’m sick, not even going to my moms this year, and just wait until next month to get anyone anything. I expressed this to my mom and she said to just make them peanut butter candy and she gave me two containers to put it in. I know my dad would also like pb candy as he always asks for it. Considered making my mom light house earrings out of clay and get my stepdad idk… maybe a movie and some peanuts or something from the dollar tree. 😰 this is literally the hardest Christmas I’ve had to deal with. And I hate the fact everyone will have gotten me something way more expensive and I will feel awful about it.

Anyone got any other gift ideas that are crafty or cheap? Or should I cancel even going?
