Ok so my husband has been at his job for 10 months. He used to work at Kroger, and then my step dad got him a job at his current place, which my step dad has been working at for like 20 years or something. It's pretty nice, he get guarenteed 40 hours a week, vacation days he paid for, so if he wants he can just cash one in or he can use one, whichever.
The job allows him 8 sick days per year. My husband has had a few issues since he started working there. He had a couple issues with his stomach, then he was hospitallzed for his kidneys; they were only working at 20% and they never really figured out why. They said his creatine levels were high but never found a stone. And then there was a time he had the flu, but fortunately got it over the weekend so only had to take one sick day.
Well over the weekend he hurt his shoulder. We're not really sure how. He went to the doctor on Monday to get it checked out and the doc sent him to a specialist, but ordered him to take the week off until he could get into the specialist. My husband works third shift, so he took the doc note in that night and they MADE him take a sick day (which he doesn't have anymore) and said then he could be off until he got the results; but by making him take a sick day it pretty much led to him being fired last night when he went back in with the results from the specialist. Thankfully he had not only my step dad speaking on his behalf, but BOTH the union reps.
He ended up getting his job back last night since he had a case and had three people sticking up for him. Yet my husband just seems like it's no big deal. Dude, YES IT IS! You were suddenly out of a job and we didn't know what we were going to do for money, especially if you ednded up being disabled. And now you have a job and you're not even grateful. Ugh he can be such a jerk sometimes. We have two kids; one of them is from his previous girlfriend who decided she doesn't have to pay child support (my husband has full custody). I don't know how he planned to feed them without a job.
It just irritates me because he can just be so selfish sometimes. Plus, he is an only child, so that doesn't help.
I'm glad I got that out. I've been steaming over this since last night when I went to bed!
Well he will get his job back if he goes to a clinic and gets notes for two days that he missed a few months ago. I told him he should go this morning and get it done so he can go back and turn it in right away, and he said there's no hurry because he still has to be off anyways due to his shoulder. He's procrastinating. I would think he would want to be at the clinic right now jumping on getting those notes so he can be in good standing with the company.

What did he do that makes him seem ungrateful? Things happened that appears to be something he couldn't really help, it was his job who made the decision to fire him...but they rehired him and now he has the job back...what's he supposed to be doing now, back flips, a cheer and write them a love letter about how appreciative he is? I just don't get why your upset with him??
Then shut your mouth about your husband "not worrying about having money" You aren't paying any bills, and he is obviously sick....step up and do your part!!!

I suppose I should also mention that as far as the kids go, he can't take care of both of them at the same time. Westley is 3 (he is the one from the ex gf) and my daughter Chloe is 9 months. Because he works third shift and then sleeps all day (he doesn't wake up unti 3pm), he hasn't spent enough time with my daughter to where she feels comfortable with him putting her down for naps or with me not being there for a long period of time, so I cannot go out to get a job. Plus he has a short amount of patience when it comes to the kids. Believe me, I would love to, but the kids would be miserable and I am worried he would get too frustrated with them and then I'd come home to him way too angry because I wasn't there to help him calm down.
First of all, the plan was after I gave birth I was going to go back to work after two months, which I did one day, and when I came home the house was a wreck. My husband was mad and both kids were upset because he couldn't handle them. So I had no choice but to quit. He is perfectly ok with me staying home. I have been looking for something legit as far as stay at home mom jobs for the past 6 months, and finally found one. It's not like I've been sitting on my ass doing nothing to try to help. I take care of him whenever he is sick, just as he takes care of me. I'm not saying he's a bad person or anything. And I'm not saying he shouldn't be off while he is getting his shoulder taken care of.

What is the at home job you have if you don't mind me asking? I have been trying to look for one and can't seem to find one. Your husband sounds just like mine. Stubborn to go to the doctor and stubborn about a job.
