Oh, and not that anyone would do anything on purpose, but I’m asking those of you here who are facebook friends of mine, to not mention this over there. I am not supposed to be talking about her pregnancy at all yet, and I’d hate for the family to be in an uproar, if something were mentioned about it before she is ready to out herself.
@JLeslie I’m a stay home mom at the moment, and we live fairly comfortably. We don’t have extra money for extravagant vacations or anything, but we’re not destitute. It has been a good situation as long as at least one child was at home all the time, but now that our youngest will be in 1st grade, I’m ready to work somewhere.
There are things that need to be worked around (for the kids’ sake) for me to get a job, but I have been actively looking, recently. Our issues with that are: I don’t want the kids in daycare because it’s a disgusting germ-pot, and it would eat up money that I make at a job anyway, but they have nowhere else to go after school, so I can’t be working a regular 9–5 job. The kiddos also have after-school activities, like gymnastics and such, and I would have to take them to a really late class, then eat a late dinner, then get them in bed really late, if I had a regular 9–5. Also, where the crap would they go during the summer? We don’t want to ship them off to summer camps because we’d never see them, plus it would eat up all the money I make at any job anyway… What I’m looking for is a job with the school district, so that I have the same hours as the kids. If I’m going to work outside the home, we’d like for me to find a job that would add income, but would be the best for the kids.
