Sad.

I've been a stay at home mom/housewife since my son was born which was March2011, I was 17yrs. An I haven't worked at all. Or any work experience. I got pregnant again exactly a year later at 18. My husband had been in the Army at the time, but he separated in Nov2013. His income was enough to support our whole family. I'm currently pregnant with our third at 20yr. I'm still a stay at home mom/housewife. No work. Now its almost Christmas I feel really terrible and sad that I can't get him a gift. He's done so so so much for us! Feel like I can't repay him. He deserves the best. Idk, but last night I told him "I'm sorry I can't get you a gift on my own or help you buy gifts for the babies!" He told me "not to cry, it's ok. You already do so much. Take care of my kids, give them showers, clean the house, do the laundry, cook everyday, run errands for me, always there for us. U do all that and plus being pregnant." Made me feel a little better, but seeing some posts on FB, IG & here makes me feel sad. Can't help it! An the hormones makes everything little more worse. Haha

I feel the same way but thats just why i make sure that i try and spoil him as much as i can. We are only on our second and i try to help out and work. I work off and on but for the most part he is the one doing all thr hard work to keep the family fed and have the bills paid and i love him for that. All we can do is do what ever it is that we are capable of doing to help :)
