A woman who claims she’s having great trouble making ends meet will now be forced to tell her kids the truth about Santa Claus as she can’t afford holiday gifts.
The growing rate of inflation and economic uncertainty has left her and many others with no choice but to spend little on luxuries and more on basic necessities. And with the holiday season fast approaching, that can only mean one thing.
Her four children are going to have to realize that she is the one who provides gifts each year. But this year, things would be very different for her.
Trolls were seen hammering her by claiming that all she did was sit around instead of making a change to make her life and that of her kids better. But she disagrees and feels that telling the kids the truth is the best way to go about the situation.
The young mother says she has four children and they’re all under the age of 10. Just the thought of not being able to provide them all with holiday gifts has really struck a sad chord with her.
“They expect it each year. But what they don’t know is that it’s been awfully difficult, this time of year. I am struggling with bill payments like so many other parents out there”- the mother of four explained.
The mom admits to accepting Universal Credit as going back to work in this state of the economy is just going to be too crippling for her. Therefore, she has resorted not to taking that option.
The young mom adds that having family by her side can really make a difference. And if she did, she would be in a different position altogether.
