[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe this is a dumb time for you and your husband to divorce?  Why not stay married while he's out of the country? You and the kids will still be covered under his health insurance, he could send money home to you and you could start getting some work experience under your belt.  Things would be tight but not as undoable as you trying to pay out of pocket health insurance premiums, housing expenses, etc on minimum wage.

When he gets back in the country, you can then divorce and set up your own separate households and share the responsibility of childcare. [/quote]

We're not in the process of divorcing (yet). [/quote]

Didn't you refer to him as your STBX?  Maybe I'm thinking of another thread?

Obviously if you're married, your husband's income is your income, too.  Your health insurance is covered through his work.  Maybe get a PT job while he's out of the country.  That'll give you a break from the kids, some job experience while keeping childcare costs low.

I suppose you could send the kids with him to a foreign country while you stay behind to hold the fort at home...but why?[/quote]

My husband (I say STBX because we're separated) diverted his direct deposit to a personal checking account soon after I left. I don't have access to that money.

I'm worried about managing spring break, sick days, snow days (it still snows here at this time of year) etc while settling into an new job. I don't have extra money to pay nannies/babysitters and am looking at this logistically. [/quote]
