How soon would you tell your boss that you may have to quit your job?  

I would suggest discussing your situation with your boss. It's better to talk than to keep quiet. She may be able to help you and offer you more kids to teach if there are any. She could also work with you and may know of a second job that you can take that would not interfere with your current one and keep you on the same schedule. If you don't take the time to talk with your boss, you may never know what she may be able to help you with.

Since, you and her are friends, I think you should let her know the situation. Emphasize to her that your husband is no longer working, and his unemployment and what you are making is not going to cut it. Probably on your off days you can look for something else. Since you love what you are doing, maybe you can find another part time job, that will supplement the income you are striving for.
I am on unemployment, and it is not nearly as much as I was making also. I am losing about $900.00 per month, compared to what I was previously making.
It has been three months for me, and I have not found anything yet.
I wish you and your family luck, God bless

I think you should still tell her that you need more than what you are getting right now. She wouldn't like it of course but I think she would understand. Especially if what you are getting from your job right now does not meet your needs. It's her right to know that you have decided to get another job. Have a nice day!

Yep, I think I have to agree with everyone else. Talk to her.

She has become a friend, and deserves to know. Also maybe she is aware of your hardship and knows that you are going to say this sooner or later, just giving her the opportunity to hear it first is the right thing to do.

I hope your situation improves and quickly. Good luck.

Hi,
I would tell her about your situation so there are no surprises if and when you find something else. Especially if you have become good friends. You don't want to have this interfere with that friendship.

It's too bad that La is amoung the lowest 5 for unemployment! I guess it's better than being #1! lol I think La needs to revamp a lot of things and bring us all into the 21st centry! lol

ordinarily i would say give two weeks and thats it but with all this happening i would tell her asap that your hubbys out of work and you need her to either step up your earnings some how or that you were gonna have to leave.. that way if by miracle she could bring in more business you arent leaving when it could have worked out.. if it still wouldnt have worked out with the extra money and still would have had to get a 2nd job etc you would at least have it go up a little till you find the right opportunity but if she were to tell you outright sorry it i cant do it etc.. then i think she might let you leave before 2 weeks just because of your need for money asap.. if she is your friend i couldnt see her holding you to it if its gonna ruin your families lives..

but then again she has to run a business too.. but hopefully you both could work something out..

good luck and i hope everything QUICKLY works out.. im going through something similar

ok so it may take another 2 months for your hubby to find a new job
but you and your boss are now friends so she would appreciate it if you could talk to her about your personal situation and that you need a job that pays more right now
she might be upset about it or she might become more resourceful in looking for new clients so that you can earn the income she said you would
whatever it is, at least you are honest and told her in advance what may happen
I have never found a place where I liked both the job and the people, usually I didn't mind the job but the co worker or management were not worth the attention, so I never had problems leaving with 2 weeks notice. but if I happened to like both the job and the people, I would be as confused as you are now.

You should discuss it with your boss regarding this matter.it's better that she knows your situation so that she can do something about it.

The people at my dayjob are not that bad so I would be very grateful to them and tell them like a month ahead of time t train teh person thats going to take my place. These people never give me any trouble at all, but I don't like depending on "job security" for these kind of things.

I think may be one month before I would tell my boss that I am leaving as out here we need to give notice to our company if we are leaving so that they make sure that they get an alternative person and it would be easy for them and for me also before joining any new company.Personally I feel it is better for us to tell our boss sooner so that we dont get in to any trouble.
