[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry but why are you putting all the onus on him? You had the lower paying job. Do you know what it’s like carrying the household on your shoulders?

You seem selfish and self-centered. OP, why don’t YOU get a restaurant job?!

OP. I hear you. We agreed together when I got my masters degree in education that it was ok for me to have the lower paying job based on the trajectory of his career. I also am trying to find a higher paying job, in addition to summer work. He did not need to leave his prior job, he chose to and it didnt work out and left us way worse off than we ever were.[/quote]
Presumably it was a joint decision. You can't blame him when you and your children are part of the reason he took the job (you keep spending more and more money, you said it yourself). Also you have no idea if his old job would have remained stable. [/quote]

His old job did remain stable. Everyone is still there. But in this thread weve moved on from ppl wanting to shame me for being in education, etc and weve moved on to kind ppl sharing their stories or productive suggestions. So no need for you to brung it back to where we moved on from. Just move along to the next thread. Thanks.[/quote]

FFS OP. Have some perspective. Sure, his old job was stable but it easily could have gone another way, maybe there was an exec who took a dislike to him, who knows. Stop beating that hobby horse. You placed him in the role of breadwinner, and had escalating expenses and he took the job seriously and try to provide. It didn’t pan out, but it’s not like he as gambling at the track. I just can’t even with you.

You will be fine, you are some UMC folks who have been working for 20 years; you must have some assets and resources. Maybe you can’t live in Bethesda or Rockville, but you will be fine. My dad was a depressed alcoholic and only worked 3 years in his life (enough time to marry my mom and have me, then fell down a bottle forever). Mom was a teacher, and yeah we lived in a small rural town, but we had a house, went to passable schools and went off to college.  Maybe that isn’t good enough for you, but your family will be fine.
