hehehe...I agree with everything that you said, BOgart
I too come from a background where christmas dinner was the present, and as kids, my brother and I didn't have much...but we were happy with what we got, because we knew how much our mum had to save up for our gifts.
I feel really bad for not being able to get my kids much - of course I want to get them some cool presents, but what do I do?
She (the bitch) can't seem to see that my choices are between getting the kids cool gifts, or paying the rent. Her solution, as was always the case, is to rack up loads of debt - but, come the end of january, I should be starting a new job and earning regular money again - therefore, after a couple of months of 'catch-up', I will be able to do all the things that I want to with my kids.
But even before that, I planned to have as good a time with them as I could, but thanks to her interferring, the kids have already got a mindset that they are losing out!
And that's what is really pissing me off.
thanks BB, and lol@corny music

Ok, so here's the deal: I have not worked consistently for some time (lucky to get 3days work a week), and as such, I find myself in a state of financial hardship. I went to the bank yesterday, and managed to secure an overdraft extension. Basically, this will enable me to pay my rent, get some food, and fill my car with petrol. I will have very little left over to buy my kids a christmas present - this makes me feel very sad :( I got a text from my ex-wife today, saying that she will Rating: 5
