I'm so glad you did this as I can't wait either.  DH and I have been arguing a lot lately, and most of it is related to Ruby.  We've both acknowledged that we need to go talk to someone, preferably the counselor we worked with before.  Tuesday was especially bad, and Wednesday was his birthday.  So I kept asking him what he wanted to do for his birthday.  And you know what he said?  "I want a day where I don't get yelled at."  So anyway, I feel like shizzz and just needed to get that out of my system.  And in case anyone is wondering, he had a nice birthday and there was no yelling.

I understand what you mean. DH & I have had such a hard time since having DS. We actually talked about getting a divorce a couple of weeks ago. Only part of me was sad about it. We know a divorce is not what either of us want. But life with a baby is way harder than I expected. Funny thing is, life/our relationship has been 100% better since then.

Thanks for commiserating.  It is good to hear someone else going through the same thing. 

Same boat here.  In fact B-Day was the 19th and I totally ruined it for him because I went out of my way to turn some paperwork in and the lady said it would be a good 2-3 months before it was processed.  OK.  Well, that is all well and good when the processor has a job but the person waiting on the paperwork doesn't. I had a mini meltdown about our finances and made him feel inadequate and all that other junk.  I made up for it tonight or at least I hope I did.  No arguing for two days and dinner out.

this is more of a vent, but i'm so frustrated.

we freaking moved to cali to see more of the hubs not less.

seriously we saw more of him when we were in texas. 

but i should complain b/c at least he has a job and we live comfortable etc, but seriously mama needs a freaking break and H misses his dad.

 

Oy.  We have a couple of friends who just moved back to Austin from the San Fran (?) area.  They both have PhDs & work in the biotech industry.  He was literally working 90-hr weeks, which is extreme, but they were saying how just about everyone they knew worked like dogs out there (and STILL can't afford to buy a decent house).  I'm sorry.  Hope he can  find a better work-life balance.

I really, really wish my company would lay me off.

So I'm taking it that they didn't sign off on your proposal?   

Yes and No. They agreed to 30 hours a week, but not to 3 10 hour shifts, so I'm still working Monday through Friday. In other words, I'm working 5 days a week, but making less money. And at the same time they agreed to cut my hours, they upped the amount of work they expect from me, when it was unrealistic to begin with. How did they make up for it? But giving out raises. The company's first in 4 years. I got a whopping 2%.

So ... if anyone knows of any part time, 3 day a week jobs opening up, let me know!
