Has anyone else had to live their life around someone else's?

Yeah, I've been there. Welcome to the wonderful world of life with kids. Me and my husband have had the same problem several times because of the amount that we've moved around and been laid of from jobs. Really, it always tended to work out in the end, but we always had these periods of uncertainty and hatching plans depending on who got what. My advice to you would be for one of you to take a job that pays better and have the other one work around that. I know it's a pain, but all you can do is make sure you have enough money to survive, figure out a way to work in day care, and adjust accordingly. It's rough, but there's really no way around this. I would suggest talking to your husband about your concerns and thoughts during this process. You can never have too much communication in a marriage during times like these.

It is hard when you have young children and have to organise your life around them but there will come a time when they are at school and you have time during the day when you can go out to work while they are away. I can understand why you would be frustrated and want to go back to work. It can be difficult being home all the time and the longer you are out of the work force the harder it can be to get back in sometimes. But if you have to pay for childcare you can lose so much of your wage you have to wonder if it is worth it. Also there are worries about whether they will look after your children well or not. It can add to your stress if your children get sick while at child care. It seems a strange coincidence that your husband gets an interview every time you get a job offer. Could he be saying that he does not want you to work or is it just a real coincidence? Sorry I can be suspicious and I wonder why he has not said anything if that was the case. Of the people I know who have had this problem. One girl I know did not want to go back to work but she had to or lose the job and she could not afford that so she returned to work part time and split the child care while she was at work between a child care center and family who babysat for her on certain days. The other person simply chose to stay home until the children went to school and then she went to work part time so she would be home when the children came home from school. It is hard and child care is so expensive that you need to be earning a lot to cover the costs.

That's funny you are getting jobs offer and I can't seem to get any, I have two little girls and at frist I wanted to be a saty at home mom but after a while I got tired of being at home all the time and now I want to work and make some money, now if I could get a job working at home that would be fine but I am just so tired of not being able you even get a job.
