[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about subbing at a school?  I know a mom who subs at my son's parochial school and seems to like the work.[/quote]

If I quit my job, it will be to SAH or work somewhere else. My district doesn't favor part time teaching (probably because they don't want to have to pay benefits for more people; they prefer to see teachers take overages and there are enough who need the money who do it so that's not on the table anyway). And subbing us a NIGHTMARE. It's like babysitting with 0 authority. I would never want to do that if I didn't need the money. Thanks for the suggestion though, I do appreciate all of the replies.

I think I am stuck though until my kids are older and in public school full time. Like I said, my husband doesn't think going back for another master's degree is a good idea (especially now) so that's out. He thinks I should SAH and get a job volunteering somewhere if I need the outlet. But as tempting as that plan is, it would put me in a potentially vulnerable position so I don't know if that is really a good idea. Sigh. I don't know what to do.[/quote]

Just how vulnerable would you be? If this is the only thing making you get out of bed and into work every day, I'd consult a divorce attorney. Not to pursue a divorce of course, but just to get a personalized assessment of just how much risk I'd be taking on by staying home. I mean, that's a pretty strange reason to work at a job you don't like. [/quote]

Do you think so? Because it seems like nearly everything I read about nowadays wrt SAH or not is to never give up your job (Lisa Belkin's "The Opt Out Revolution Wants Back In," Linda Hirshman et al.)[/quote]
