He was out of control this morning while my daughter Amber was sleeping. He was yelling me at for no reason. So I kicked him out of the house. I cannot take his crap anymore!!(sorry about the swear, I am just so angry right now) I cannot be pregnant and going through all this stress. We are definetly thinking about getting a divorce. What a holiday season this year has been. I haven't been to work for 2 months!!!! I have bills stcking up like crazy. I had to break the news to my kids that they werent going to recieve that much (maybe even no) christmas presents this month. They were going to have to way till next month, (when I go back to work). I do not plan on having Paul back in my house ever again!!! If my kids do get any gifts they will probaly get them from other family members and freinds. But presents are not the important thing, it's being with your family that matters. The divorce hasn't been a total shock for my oldest because she knew we were going through really bad times. I am going through so much STRESS.

mckayleesmom replied: Sorry about all this going on. I hope things start to look up soon.

How about...instead of buying each other presents you make each other something or pass something you enjoyed but no longer use along.

cameragirl21 replied: i'm really sorry to hear that. i hope things get better soon.

mckayleesmom replied: I just wanted to add something...Presents really don't matter....believe it or not..most kids just want their parents to be happy. I come from a family with 6 kids and many many Christmas's went bad for us too.....I remember being more upset that my mom was worrying about presents for us then not getting the presents....I remember hating Christmas and all that it had become because it made my mom sad not to give that to us. Just remember...your children will love you longer then those presents would have lasted anyways....and that is what matters. Keep your chin up, if you are ok with it ,they will be ok with it also.

Mommy2BAK replied: I'm so sorry to hear this. I think McKaylee's mom said it very well!

C&K*s Mommie replied: I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. As Brianne (McKayleesMom) said presents are not what is at the heart of Christmastime. You can make scores of memories with very little.

Again I am sorry to hear this, and we are here anytime you need to vent.

Calimama replied: I'm sorry your family is going through a rough time. Hopefully you'll see some rainbows in the mist of all these clouds soon.

CantWait replied: Sorry to hear this. Best wishes that things work out for the best.

1lilpeanut2love replied: I am SO sorry! Many prayers and pt's for you and your family! If you need someone to talk to we are always here! Good Luck!

ZandersMama replied: I'm so sorry. PM me if you need to chat, I am going through the same with my husband, he moved out about 2 or 3 weeks ago.

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Decorate a Kleenex box together to put some homemade cookeis or homemade cards in it... and spend the evening singing carols and telling each other stories about yourselves. I guarantee your kids will probably enjoy that much better anyways.

lisar replied: I hope things get better for you soon.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: I'm sorry that things are so rough for you right now! I do hope that things get better! Try not to worry about presents right now, the most important thing is that you are with your children, they will understand! You can try getting them little things for now and you have already explained to them that you plan to get them presents next month. I do think your DH should be helping out with buying the kids presents.
