NCDR: DH lost his job today :'(

unknownbliss

They had a lay-off today and unfortunately he was one of them.

He was the only one working since I stay home with the kids. I've applied at numerous places in the past year but have had no luck. I have no idea what we're going to do. We don't have much saved up since we used all our savings last year on the house.

I feel like crying and throwing up right now.

Oh no I'm so sorry

I'm so sorry mama.  I feel ya on the DH termination train.  At least we do have me working so that helps some.  I think I would probably be freaking out if I was a SAHM too. 

Maybe we can help - what field are you and your DH in?

jteneback

I'm sorry.  Hopefully one of you finds something soon.

funkymonkeyohyeahhh

I am so sorry. I hope he has already placed a call to your state's unemployment office. It was difficult for me to make that call when I was in the position, but the program is there for a reason. Best wishes to your family!

Oh no!  I'm so sorry.  That sounds so scary.  What does he do?

Other than some college courses, I've got nothing. I had horrible morning sickness with my first and ended up missing too many days to catch up. DH was very lucky to have had the job he did since he did not receive his HS diploma (required where he used to work, somehow he got in without it).

I feel completely sh!t out of luck. Please excuse the language.

I am so sorry.  We are on this train as well.  It took me 15 applications to even get the bartending job that I got.  My boyfriend is doing odd jobs here and there now while he fills out application after application.

Even though it sucked doing it, my boyfriend cashed out some of his retirement to help us out and get some peace of mind.

He was a second to one of the supervisors at the warehouse he worked in.

Sorry for the bad news. Hopefully one of you will find something soon, and like Yoda said, let us know if we can help!

Oh no! That's awful, I'm sorry to hear that! I hope he can find something soon. T&Ps coming your way!

I am so sorry Mama. You are in my thoughts. And I hope things get better soon.

unknownbliss

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. If I go MIA for a bit it's because I'm frantically filling out applications.

MyBdayPresent

Ugh!  My heart goes out to you.  Did they offer some type of severence that can hold you over for a bit?  Here's hoping one or both of you find something great soon!

Alirebco

Oh my!  I am so sorry!  Sending prayers to you guys.

beckerella

So sorry mama! I hope you can find something soon! I'll keep an eye out around this area for ya.

I'm sorry mama.  Can you do some work through care.com or tutoring.com just to get some extra cash while you 2 are applying to other jobs?  Definitely let us know if we can do anything.

laxchick60

I'm sorry maybe there will be something temporary he could get- if all else fails construction crews are almost always hiring (coming from someone who used to work in construction). Best wishes for your family that things work out soon!

Copernicus08

I'm so sorry to hear this but I just know that things will turn a corner ASAP, for both of you. Sending T&P and good vibes your way!

I'm so sorry .  Is there severance or unemployment available? I really hope he finds something soon. Let us know if we can help!

moussy

So sorry mama.  That's so hard.

Ugh-terrible   Maybe if you gave us a rundown of your qualifications we can help brainstorm job ideas?

I think I filled out at least 15 online applications today. My eyes hurt from staring at the screen, I'm tired and the kids are cranky. *sigh*

I wish I was as well qualified as all of you ladies on here are, truth is I'm not. I only completed about a year and a half of general ed. courses combined.

I'm so sorry to hear it. Your DH should consider visiting the department of labor in your area (not sure where you're located.) Besides filing for unemployment, he can also look into programs to get his GED as well as job training.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear the bad news. I hope he can find something quick!
