hates job

i used to love my job when i was making almost 700 after taxes a week. but now i barely make 432 a week. and i have the baby on the way. i sware i apply everywhere on craigslist and i get no response. its very frustrating. im at a job with zero benefits and no tolerance for anything. im constantly reminded how replaceable i am. im sick and tired of it. i even resent my hsuband a little because he has an awesome office job and mine is ****. i am also riiight after work going straight to an 8 bucks an hour job. im soo mad. im busting my *** and seeing no results

If your husband has a fab job then why stay if its so bad? If you can still afford to pay the bills, why not take your maternity as early as possible and enjoy your freedom before it permanently disappears! At the other end if you want to go back to work then you could always look for another job. If I could afford to I would be out the door of my office and never look back!!!! In fact when I leave for my maternity I have no intention of going back (but dont tell them shhhhh!!). I have never gone back to work until my kids were at least a year old, and only ever taken part time jobs that mean the kids are with family as childcare here is so expensive I would be working for nothing otherwise. It is frustrating to take on crappy jobs when I have a degree and could usually run the businesses I work for, but the payoff there is that I have no stress at work as I simply do my job and go home to my family...

I had to work majority of my pregnancy with my son and it was hard! I had to pull through it though cause my husband was laid off a month after we found out I was pregnant and really needed the money. I worked during the summer with no ac because my boss was so lazy and cheap to replace it. Mold was growing on the roof. It was awful, the place ended up getting shut down two months before I had my son thats how bad the place was. I was upset and angry. My husband got to stay at home all day and do nothing! While I sweat my butt off trying  to make ends meet. I cried alot but sometimes you got to do what you gotta do. Four months later my husband found an amazing great paying job and we moved. He has been here ever since and I am lucky to stay at home. Those hard times just help us and teach us lessons about life. It does get better maybe not right away but things tend to work out. :0)

Some people are lucky to make 400+ a week. Be thankful for what you have. Not judging or anything.
