I need adult conversation once in awhile
I have to go to work tonight. I am only scheduled two days this week (10 hours) and while I like going there, and getting out of the house, I need to decide whether or not to quit. Dominic says it not worth the time or gas to continue working only 10 hours a week.
I get his point I really do but I am not sure I can be couped up in the house all week with no adult interaction. I like going to work because I get out of the house and get a chance to talk with adults (well I can only say that for about half of them but you know what I mean).
I always wanted to be a SAHM and I am getting my chance but it sucks when you are so broke you can barley breath. I thought it would be fun and I would go on play dates and I would be like this rock star mom but it sucks ass when you have no money and can not go anywhere because I need to save my gas.
But the funny thing is I keep hearing these voices telling me that I got what I wanted to stay home....so what the hell am I suppose to do? All this is totally confusing and hurts my head to even think about. Should I quit my job? Should I just stay at home with the kiddos?
I am still looking for work and still have found nothing. I am still cutting coupons and trying to save money in every way I can. But is Dominic right is this job just costing us more for me to work there?
If it costing you to go to work-then I would quit.
Spending money to get to work is sort of counter productive.
As for play dates and adult interaction, I could always bring M5 over to play and we can chat.
Just have to let me know! ;-)
Thank you...I am sure I/we will be taking yo up on that offer soon :)
I am not a parent, but I have 3 considerably younger sisters. When I was younger, (14) and visiting them up in Oregon, I would get tired of being "stuck" in the house ALL day with three little tots. I know you're kids are older than toddlers, well at least your boys, but the point is, I'm not a parent and I too need adult conversation. I adore kids--I have a lot of kids in my life--god children, cousins, neices, nephews--and I love them all with all my heart. That being said, I enjoy my quiet time, my "adult-time". And heck, even I go to work to talk to someone other than my husband sometimes! I think if you are spending more than you're making, than I would quit. But, if it's something you really enjoy AND it's bringing in even an extra $20 a week, than stay. The decision is yours alone to make, but I'm praying for you and you're most definitely not alone!
Good luck!
Many Blessings,

If you want some help with your job search, please let me know.
If work is making you miserable and its costing you more to work than you earn than quit and devote the time to your search.
Just stopping by and blog hopping... I think I agree that if it is costing you to work, it probably isn't a good thing. However, that being said, I think you still need to find an outlet with some adult interaction. Maybe a community play group or church MOPS group or even another job that might be closer to home? Just some thoughts, hope things work out!
