SOB! Trying to remain calm...DH just lost his job and I am still not permanent at my job...sigh. DH is distraught, my mother is visiting so we have to act as if all is ok and my temp job that should have been permanent by now is still in limbo! The only thing I am grateful for is that CS is no longer due...sigh It seems we bust our ass and those who sit on theirs get the benefits. So freaking tired...Just need to vent because I have nobody to vent without my parents finding out and going apeshit on us! Sigh

Sorry!!

Ugh, not sure what's worse... losing the job, or having to wear the smiley face for mom. Sad

Sadly my parents don't understand. To them, even getting laid off is your own fault. I was laid off after 20yrs of working for the same company because our son was diagnosed with autism and after moving to the same city as my company they wanted me to travel to Singapore...it was summer and i couldn't find a daycare for my son because of the autism, but my mother who never worked and lived 5 minutes away also couldn't take care of my son while i went on the trip or office because "she was too busy." My father retired at 49 before the layoffs and so they have always had money to waste...when i gotvlaid of her view was that i wasn't a very good worker thus the reason for the layoff...

I know this too shall pass and more than anything i am behind my dh 100% because he feels horrible enough already. Mind you, he was laid off last year and had this last job ONE DAY after his last day at his last job, but it seems everytime we get ahead something else happens

I am a firm believer that boys need their DADS in their pre-teen years and i have been telling him about it and how it would be great if he could homeschool him now instead of me, but because my job is not yet permanent it is still scary...

Thanks for your encouragement, I promise that although insideI am terrified, I put a happy and hopeful face for my hubby Smile

Oh gosh, that sucks, I am so sorry. We never told my family either when DH was out of work.

Because they would worry and keep asking about it, but yours sounds like are just really unsupportive. They have been incredibly lucky to not understand the harsh realities the rest of us have to deal with!

So I don't blame you. I am sorry and hope things get better soon!!! and that your company goes home soon too. I hate having to put on a happy face, that is the worst!!! Sad
