Another Christmas has passed and no gift. No that sounds pathetic and I don’t want a Tiffany box. What I want is for him to get up and put some thought into wrapping something. Lots of my friends do me a mini hamper of smellies from the £1 shop as they know I love a drawer full of shower gel. So a gift from £1 shop wrapped up. I just want him to think of me and put some effort in. He always runs out of time.
I’m sat downstairs by myself. DS is playing with toys now and H is on computer. This is a regular occurrence. We never do nothing as a family. I know you can’t assume that all the social media pics are true but I do see happy smiling faces doing stuff together. DS and I do a lot together and he is aware that Dad won’t come. He gets upset for school things that he won’t come.
H is a SAHD but DS is now 9 and he needs to get back into work as we are struggling financially but he won’t. He has never really worked. I know everyone has it worse but I just want to feel valued. He says no to another baby and I’m now 39 so time is running out.
Do I cut my losses and move on.
