Seriously, how do you pregnant SAHMs and single pregnant moms do it? How do you keep your finances in order like manage to pay off your bills and still have money left over for food and other needs?

I'm not single. I'm married and my husband works. I want to work, but nobody will hire me with 5 weeks to go. For several months nobody would hire me. The didn't say why, they didn't have to say why. I knew. Even if I accused them of discrimination, they could always give me an excuse why they wont hire me. There's really no reason why they wouldn't. I have a good employment record. My past supervisors would say how much of a good worker I am.

Ugh! Right now I just feel like such a financial burden. I feel guilty for feeling regret about getting pregnant. i screwed up by not getting a job early on. I know this. I am tired of my husband rubbing it in my face.

I have no family near me. No where to go. I dont want to leave my husband. That's not something I would dream of considering. That's not what I'm talking about. I just have no family or friends around here to escape to for a night when I need to. Nearest family member is several states away.

*Sigh* I'm stuck. All I can do is sit at home, wait for my baby to be born, and feel sorry for myself. We need money coming in and there isn't anything I can do about it.

Jul. 18, 2007 at 3:38 PM Ok i know how you feel, but it takes a lot of time and you need your bf or husband there to help you. like what i did was i payed all the bills and if i had money left over i would go shopping for food and after that i knew there would be hardly anything left so i would save that money until next pay and then that way i had extra. dont worry everything will be ok. just make sure that your partner is there to help and support you.
