Thread: I am so stressed

Time for him to get either the medical help he needs so he can function again or if nothing is really wrong w/him, time to get his butt of the couch and look for work all day everyday until something comes along, no matter what it is. Either way you need some help. He needs to be able to look for work and help w/the house and kids because the stress of doing it all while he does nothing will wear you down and then where will your family be if you can't function anymore. Time for a heart to heart w/DH and a dr. visit. I know it's hard but you can't give up.

I know today I am at my cousin's house while he is at home. I told him I needed to just get away. I can't do it today. I am letting him handle all of it. He can figure out what to cook every other thing that needs to be done around the house. I handed him the bills and said you figure out how to pay what needs to be paid cause the $200 in the bank account won't cover everything. Told hime if the power gets turned off OH WELL I have done all I can do at this point. Short of robbing a bank (which is NEVER and option). I will get up and go to work and I will come home to do my school work I will make sure I have food but as for him he is on his OWN. He siad stop mothering me well I will. NO MORE DOING HIS LAUNDRY NO MORE COOKING HIS DINNER NO MORE DOING ANYTHING HE NEEDS DONE. IF I NEED TO I WILL MOVE IN WITH MY GRANDMOTHER OR COUSIN TO GET MY POINT ACCROSS. I HAVE HAD IT. HE IS GOING TO PUT UP OR GET OUT

Seriously, check out http://www.usajobs.gov/. It shows all the government jobs that are currently open. This is the site my husband used to get a job at the airport with TSA. And we all know that Government jobs are pretty secure!

He was out of work for almost a year before he landed this one, and that was only two months before our youngest was born. I told him the little guy brought some extra presents from heaven for our family and that's why he got the job!

But seriously, check out that site. Alot of people don't think to look there, and sure, there are a lot of very exotic and specific jobs to be had there, but there are a lot of general one's too, and you don't have to be military/ex-military to get them.

Good Luck!

So I came home his morning (stayed the night at my cousin's house) and he seemed to have been pretty convinced I was never coming back. He had to cook his own dinner (oh and there were no clean dishes cause I am on strike so he had to wash in order to cook). He doesn't have a car cause his truck broke and he won't get out there and try to fix it so he was stuck in the house ALONE all day and night. He did clean the living room, wash a load of clothes, do some dishes, and clean our bedroom. I guess when there is nothing else to do cause the converter box on teh TV went out and I took the internet with me je will find things to do HUH. We will see how the next week goes. I told him that he is going to act like a child he gets treated like one. Everyday he has a chore list and they have to be done or there will be consiquences.

As for the job thing he did walk to the store and get a paper and apply at the gas station. so we will see where that goes!
