[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it sounds to me as though you don't like your job. If that's the case, you can easily find a new one. That's a quick fix. What I would do if I were you is make a list of all the ideal qualities you would like in a job - flexible time, fun work/intellectually-challenging work, easy commute, etc. - and go from there.

Life is too short to be unhappy with anything in your life, and this is something that you can change.[/quote]

Easily, huh? It isn't for anyone. For many people it takes years. A job search is generally time consuming. If I was working FT and doing the second shift, I'd find it very difficult. I understand why people give up.

The prevalence of dual income families here makes it more difficult to live here in some ways - adds to traffic, makes housing so much more expensive and competitive. I am really feeling pulled into it - even to be able to afford a pretty modest house, I need to work. I can see my kids becoming more expensive as they get older with orthodontics, activities, trips, and so much food.

It is not always fun being a SAHM with no money. Sure, we have time for crafts & such but living in a small apartment with 2 young kids is really not ideal. I am looking forward to working again so we can get out of here. [/quote]
