I am sitting here crying. I was trying to talk to my husband and he was trying to watch a movie and he snapped at me. He normally doesn’t do this. We are both under a lot of stress. I was forced to quit my job by my employer because my FMLA ran out and rather than extend a LOA they told me to either come back or resign. My grand daughter who I have been caring for still needs me so I resigned. It has been hard living with one income. It has been worth it in order to help my sweet little baby girl. The weather is hot, we are stressed about bills and I am menopausal. Not a good combo. So I am sitting here in the kitchen crying. Pressure relief valve.
I have an interview tomorrow. Hopefully I can find a job with the hours I need in order to be able to care for my grand daughter and still get a paycheck. Anyway, things will get better, but I am just feeling the stress tonight.
Hi Dianne,
I hope you‘re feeling better. Diane’s idea of providing childcare in your home or work at a childcare place will allow you to stay home with your granddaughter and get a paycheck too.
Hope all goes well for you. Take care.
Thanks Everyone! I am feeling better now. I got turned down for the job, but have several other opportunities in the works. My sister was laid off from her job and she is going to take care of my grand daughter while I work. She is older than me and figures it will be a while before she can find anything, if she decides to return to work at all. The daycare idea is a good one but I desperately need to be out in the world. I get depressed if I am home all the time.
