[QUOTE="THAT Gurl, post: 4378520, member: 45551"] Like [USER=6281]@CHenry[/USER] I find people where I find them and do what I can. I don't remember us ever spending a bunch of money on any Christmas presents for ourselves. We tend to buy what we want during the year so there isn't really anything either of us want. It started out picking up the random stranger's check in restaurants and has grown into us helping a family who lost everything in a house fire (they didn't own, it was a rental). The amount of work that woman is doing trying to take care of herself, her 3 kids and the men in her life is astounding. I don't know how she is doing it but I am both impressed with her intestinal fortitude and a bit traumatized because I see SO many parallels to what she is going through and what I did raising my kids on my own. Just because there are other adults in a home doesn't mean everyone is actually helping. I took her kids shopping for Christmas presents for everyone in the house (and the kids) Wednesday and I had an absolute blast! It did me more good than it did the kids and they were both VERY appreciative. She has raised a couple of really sweet babies. Anyhow, I am happy to have kids in the house every day now and they are welcome for as long as they want to stay with me. And I will continue to help where I see a need for them. For as long as I can anyway. [/QUOTE]
