Hubby and I live with my mom he pays half of somethings and pays 250 rent. I have my son and I am pregnant 5 weeks left. He had got a second job so we can move out and you know be on our own because we can't live here forever. The second job was just suppose to be part time, but then they wanted him to work 7 hours so he would go to his first job 7am to 3pm and 3pm to 10pm. He said he couldn't do it he just applied for part time and it's suppose to be 20 hours a week and now they changed their minds and said they need him for those hours or they don't need him working there at all. He decided that he will just give his two weeks and that will be the end of it. I don't how to feel it's like omg now we aren't getting our own place we are stuck living with my mom longer. My mom isn't so bad, but sometimes she can be a pain and I was looking forward on having our own place. I just feel so stuck!!

Aww that sucks :(

But you know in the meantime you could always be on the lookout for the next two weeks for a different part time job for him.

You're not gonna be stuck there forever though don't worry...and it would be nice to have your own place 'cause we all know how mothers can get...

I know it's hard to hear but ya gotta have patience 'cause as my Da used to say...Good things come to those who wait.

I know but sometimes my mom acts so stupid then come back acting like nothing happened I hate when she does that. I really want to be out even though I know i am going to miss her, but it's been rocky lately.

It's understandable that you want your own place, you have your own family now and need your space. Like Lola said you can keep looking for another part time job for him. On the other hand, since you are expecting in just 5 weeks and have another son already, it might be nice that you are with your mom because you will have some extra help.

Unfortunately, the priority should lay with your husband's well-being. That would be way to many hours and sometimes you have to make sacrifices. I agree with the other ladies in that it will be nice to have your mum around when your new baby comes.

I know it's hard, I lived with my mom but we did have an understanding that I was to raise my child and she only butted in if needed. We had our fair share of moments but in the end I was so grateful to have here there.

Is he always going to need 2 jobs in order for you to live on your own? I would rather have my husband with me and our children than having to go off to work another job. Another option is going back to college in the evenings so he can better his career and never need to work 2 jobs.

Just hang in there, it won't last forever hun.

Another option is a split shift. My husband and I did it for about 3 years. He worked during the day and when he got home, I had dinner ready and then I headed out the door for work.

If you're physically able, why don't you get a second part time job sometime after the baby is born? I went back to work when my baby was 6 months old and the best part about that is that you got out on your own and daddy and the kids have a great opportunity to bond.

My mom is a great help, but I just think it looks wrong me having two kids and still living with my mom. I understand that he will be so worn out that's why I didn't say much about it because I already felt lonely since he was working until 9. We have spoken about me working, but he doesn't want me to and I only had one job in my life, but I would do it. I just want to say thanks for some of the advice.

It's just the way some people react when I telll them it I mean it;s not like we are living here for free. My mom sometimes stresses me with her bs that I just want to run. She keeps saying oh I can't wait for you to get pregnant again this January. Since my two kids are only going to be a year apart. I hate when she says that. My grandmother says she shouldn't be talking because when she was pregnant with me she took care of her even after I was born. It's just crazy in the house sometimes.
