Happy Valentines Day to us! I know this kind of sounds pathetic since I'm a grown adult and self sufficient and it shouldn't matter what my parents think but it does.
I guess today was the day our BK posted in the paper. Its seriously in size 8 font in the middle of the business section, you have to use a magnifying glass to see it.
My husband was helping with youth church and I was at home with our boys napping while they napped (I'm 7 months pregnant and have high blood pressure and epilepsy which acts up while I'm pregnant) and my husband comes home and tells me that my mom called him asking if he knew anything about a bankruptcy. DH was confused and said "what do you mean?" and she said "do you know anything about you guys filing BK"?. Wonderful. Meanwhile, I look at my cell phone which I had on silent while I was sleeping and I have 3 missed called in about 3 hours from them. Since then, I've had another two calls.
I honestly can't deal with this right now. My parents are extremely judgmental when it comes to financial stuff, which is why we didn't tell them. DH was working two jobs for awhile (6 months or so at the beginning of the year) because we couldn't make ends meet and even with him working 2 jobs it still wasn't helping so he stopped working two jobs. I can't deal with their judging everything we'll be doing from now on, its going to be terrible. Our ILs (who we did tell about our BK) are going to take out a loan for us so we can buy a used minivan (about 7.5K or so) and then we'll make the payments. We need a van plain and simple, our car won't hold 3 car seats (and this pregnancy was a complete surprise due to my epilepsy medicine interacting with birth control). We can more than afford things now without having to make payments on credit cards but they're going to make snide comments and be constantly thinking "well that money should have gone to debt".
We spent $300 to put new flooring in our boys bedroom a few weeks ago because we're having to have them share a room now that the new baby is coming the end of next month. They're going to judge that.
My mom watches my boys for me while I work (we pay her however, comparable to what a home daycare provider would receive) so I'm going to HAVE to deal with it quite a bit. I'm sure they're at their home thinking of how they failed as parents.
Ugh I feel my blood pressure rising
