follow up to earlier post- DH's job :( (a little long)

Well, we found out that DH's school district isn't going to renew his contract. We first got word of this last being a possibility last Friday and now bam- a week later- here we are. I'm trying not to panic, because DH feels bad enough as it is and he hates to see me cry but I am just terrified. My job isn't too secure either- recent rounds of layoffs at my company- and I have no idea what we'll do.?

Even aside from the loss in income, there are so many other things- we are on DH's benefits, the bene's for my company aren't great- and the daycare provider we chose was partially because she was one mile from DH's (former) school.

I want to talk to my Dad but DH doesn't want me to say anything to my parents. I get where he's coming from- he doesn't want his father-in-law to think that he can't take care of me and the baby. I know he'll get to the point that we can talk about it, I guess it's just too new right now and he's still processing it, as am I.

I'm just so ANGRY because DH is an amazing teacher- he puts so much into his job, and he works so hard and pours his heart into it. And there are so many crappy teachers in his district, but because they are tenured and he is not, DH gets the boot when this baby is 8 weeks away from arriving.?

I feel like a 3 year old having a temper tantrum, but all I can think is "it's NOT FAIR."?

    On no I am no sorry. That's totally not far. I'm sure it will all work out but I wish you the best.

    It is so not fair. It is happening everywhere too. One of my co-workers quit today, she was PT, because her husband just got word he will lose his job OF 12 YEARS in three months. She has to go find a FT job now....it's so horrible.

    I'm so sorry - what a horrible thing to go through, much less when you are preparing for a new baby :( 

    I hope things work out and get better for you!

    I would talk to your dad. Even with respecting your DH's wishes, its best to talk to other people esp. your family and with your baby coming so soon. Maybe if your dad asks if you need finational help type, decline for now but keep it in your back pocket for just in case and maybe after it sinks in with you and your DH, it might be an offer that could be a loan that can be paid back at a date named later.

    I couldn't betray DH's trust like that. I know if the situation were reversed, I would want to keep it quiet for a little while until I had a game plan in place. Maybe it's a pride thing, but I see where he's coming from.

    We'll get to a point that it's okay to talk about it, but we're just not there. I mean, we'll have to tell BOTh our families at some point- when they notice that he has a new job (hopefully) or no job at all (not so hopefully), but just not right now.?
