Help! Husband pushing me to find job!
| Tue, 11-07-2006 - 10:35am |
My husband has just taken a leave of absense from his high paying 80 hour a week job to focus on being home more and finding out what he really wants to do. He is now working 3 days a week at a job he really likes. He always said if he took this job he would find another part time job to supplement the income. I am working weekends and babysitting during the week, but my income is a joke. Our kids are 5 and 3 and cry every weekend when I leave. My problem is this: my husband has put no effort in finding that 2nd job he said he would find and is pushing me to work full time. I want to be a stay at home mom, but it may mean him going back to a job he hates. He says the kids will adjust, get over it. Am I being selfish or lazy for wanting to stay home? Is he being selfish for leaving a good paying job?

I wish womens' pants were done by the inseam like mens' pants. It would make it so much easier if the came in 2 inch increments!!
Amen to that.
Yes, having 2 kids in sports can certainly add up.
I never once told you your beliefs were wrong or did i quote bible verses from the king james bible to present why you may be wrong.

Yeah, i realize you said it in jest that is why i said you said it no one else...as for the rest of your posting, this is not a religion debate board. So i decided not to read it.
I was just clarifying to you how i view mormon religion.
Yeah I have the same problem. Im one of those women who has skinny hips, skinny legs, not much of a butt and gain weight in the middle. Even when Im really thin and pretty toned...pants can still fit me awkwardly.
I used to wear boys jeans when I was a teenager, but since Ive gotten older (Im 25) my hips have filled out enough that they dont look great either!
I cant win!!

I have no problem. I already told you if you do not know why you are being unfair i hope you can fiqure it out.
I think the idea that mormon= christisan, would make a great debate topic at the religion debate board.

We went this weekend to our local salvation army so dd could get some stuff for spirit week at school. She found this dress that she planned to use, and when she tried it on she loved it and said she was going to keep it for special occasions. It is a lovely cream colored, rather simple dress that fits her perfectly! She also got this really cute jacket that probably cost $100 new (actually it looked brand new, I dont think it had ever been worn), for $3. We get a kick out of fun tshirts and such too-I have a couple of bowling shirts that I like to wear that I've found in thrift shops and my dd is always excited to come across old concert or event tees.
