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?

When something separates any of us as brothers and sisters from God through sin it is sad and it hurts everyone as we are all children of God.
"Besides this we have our living prophet, for whom I am grateful, and I hope to follow after him all the days of my life.&
I have a good example to live by that's just as motivating. My father's parents saved enough so that they were able to finish out their lives at home. When my grandfather had a stroke they had a home health aide come in 3 hours a day/7 days a week. Then when my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's my parents hired a live-in who stayed on after my grandmother died and took care of my grandfather for 5 years.
Even with that tremendous expense they were still able to leave their house, some cash and lot of stocks and bonds to their three children.
More importantly than the inheritance though was the fact that my grandfather got to die at home. It meant a great deal to all of us that he never had to leave the house he built (literally....him, alone). It takes a lot of savings and a LOT of planning for that.
