need some advice :(

Im 23 weeks and expecting a little boy. Well unfortunately I am unemployed and I have tried repeatedly to get a job but i live in a town where it could take two months to get hired anywhere especially while pregnant and showing T.T my husband has a job though, has been working there for a while, and he knows we are expecting a little boy but we are so short on money its hard to afford hardly anything. And its irritating because he will go and instead of saving our extra money, he will go out and buy weed as fast as physically possible. I dont mind weed but everytime I say we need to start buying things for  our son he just says im not worried about it. And I dont really argue becuz hes the one who works. I just have no idea what to do, we recieved news last night that he may lose his job becuz he missed a meeting accidentally and I just dont know what im going to do for my som whem hes here because at the rate we are going we will be unprepared :(((

You poor thing, sounds like a rough spot to be in and I'm so sorry. That's definitely causing stress for you and that's not good. Have you tried applying for WIC or food stamps to help compensate? You can also find great stuff for you and your boy with local church organizations. I'm not the biggest church goer but every week I go in and watch a video, in exchange I've gotten maternity clothes, car seats, baby clothes, a crib, all in great condition. Reach out and maybe have a serious talk with your husband, communication is good and it'll show how much something means to you. Good luck with everything!
