should i give up working?????

if you think you can survive without you working, then stop...what about babysitting a couple kids to give a lil more money, that way you can still be at home....

Sit down and talk with your husband and see what he thinks. If you can realistically quit and still have money to survive, I say go for it.

 moving to the mountains with you. when we leaving?

I would try babysitting for someone else to make some extra money. You can also check out work-at-home jobs too!! Just google work at home!! Good luck!!

I wanna come too:)

Quoting opinionatedmom:

Do you trade off work schedules to avoid childare??? If you are working for childcare that is one thing I noticed when I worked. It is hard trying to find the balance. I know work 3 days a week and have a day between of down time and love it. Maybe try looking for something you like, I work for the public schools as an IA and love it.

Can you honestly say that your family of 4 can live on "maybe 300 on a good week"?

I can understand that you hate having to work. Most parents do.

However, most parents hate not having food, clothes, or a roof more. You do what you have to.

Have an honest talk with your husband about the family finances. Figure out TOGETHER what you can BOTH do to make things work better.

Yes id agree,maybe look into babysitting or a work from home job. or perhaps,gulp,a waitresss job. u might only have to work like friday night-sunday night and have the whole week off. *depending on ur tips*

Don't do something drastic without a budget in place. Try living on just his checks for the next month and see where that gets you.
