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?

LOL. Um, my job search is nearly nationwide right now. The university agreed that I'm not likely to find anything in Michigan. I'm not finding anything elsewhere either even with their help. They've set a goal of finding something for me by 2009. No, it's not just here.
I am, unfortunately, limited to the states that accept Michigan's requirements so it's not correct to call it a nationwide search but I am planning on leaving the state. There's just nothing here for someone coming out of engineering and going into teaching. Unfortunately, I'm not finding demand elsewhere either. With my grades and background, that has the university puzzled.

Not everyone is like you.
