I like the Dirty Jobs show. Some of the jobs they
show are really quite interesting. 
Worry about finances but don't worry about insurance. sm
Most of the time, the father is awarded through court to provide insurance on the children as well as child support. If not, you might would qualify for some assistance on healthcare for the children. There are a lot of programs out there now. You could always try to find an employee position although that doesn't seem to easy this day and time. In the end, money does not buy happiness nor love.

Would this put you over 40 hours/week? If so, they might have a problem with paying the overtime.
should be most jobs were, not was!

There are no jobs where I am sm
I had thought of working part-time in a mall to get the discount, do some Christmas shopping, get out to see people, only a few days here and there. Our newspaper used to have at least 3-4 full pages, 7-8 on the week-end, down to 1 column on weekdays, 2 on weekends. Most are heavy lifting jobs for men and/or must speak Spanish, especially if medical. So I buy extra at every sale, extra everything, use coupons, got 30% off from Kohl's and loaded up, softened every warm clothing buy for the kids with a toy on sale. They only wanted toys in the past but this year it will be warm PJ's or a nice dress with a toy inside. The only thing is I am getting depressed from clutter, too much "stuff" all over but have to remind myself some have nothing. We do not go out to eat except perhaps soup in a sour bread bowl on special just every other week or at a Panera Bread just to say we "went out," bought video movies for a dollar at church bazaars (all Disney) for grandkids, using our VCR which will be obsolete soon but can still watch movies on old TV's. Cutting back in general, baking bread, baking cookies, really clipping and saving everything I can get my hands on. Walmart does not accept internet coupons, so check the newspaper. I do read labels on food from Walmart as some is from China. Joined a wholesale club but found it more expensive than most stores, so we can get our money back, refund in 3 months so they tell us. I really wish I had been more frugal when I made decent money at MT, I can now see I was wasteful and shame on me! I should know better, have been through recessions before. They do turn around and the only good thing is they give us a swift kick in the rear! Feel sorry for those who can barely make it, work is hard to come by in New England and a lot are losing their jobs, even teachers with over 20 years. No one knows when the next shoe will fall, even malls are failing. I am leaving all tags on gifts this year, usually cut them off, but with so many people returning things for the money, they said it's going to be a zoo they think, and even though I get gift receipts, I want them to see where it came from so the store won't give them grief. Target is the worst for returns. So that's my story here in cold, sleeting today, NE.

I have not not too many jobs but - sm
Worst --- Administrative Assistant to the stingiest man---He pounded out 150% out of you if he could, paid only about half of what you were worth, were not allowed OT but he would try to make you work at least 30 mins every day, no was not salaried, were lucky to get Christmas day (thanksgiving, etc). We would get out about 15 minutes early on Christmas Eve (i.e. 4:45) and the office was DEAD-- no parties allow either. Place had horrible morale. He was Jewish and observed all the Jewish holidays but the rest of us could jump in a lake basically. He could squeeze a dime out of a penny. He would pretend he was a travel agent to get cheap rooms, did a lot of international travel--company paid vacations somewhat. He was a very hard worker, but liked his luxuries and I had to scurry about making sure all sort of stuff was done personal and business, even had to show his condo that he was renting out; he got so mad at me when I tipped the refrigerator delivery guys $10; and another time I made him pay to fix my carpet in my car as he had me pick up bleach for work (caps not on good apparently) and it spilled all over my car. After that he made his wife buy all the work cleaning supplies. The job taught me a lot but did not like the conviving and constant lying so he could get something for free or at a huge discount. We did not have a time clock so he would make me or my mom write down what time people came in the door in the morning....we had to be there 15 minutes before everyone else at 7:45. He died last year from pancreatitis, almost a year to the day my mom died which I though ironic. When my mom quit (she worked there too in the front office) 5 months after I did-- I moved and married-- he told her she could not afford to quit--it was funny. My dad saved more than enough for them and they were quite comfy financially, and their house was paid off. She probably banked $250,000 to $300,000 working for him as they did not need that money (20 years of salary saved) to live on.
THEN I went onto the BEST--also Administrative Assistant for a competitor in another state. He paid me more, I had about half the work load, set my own hours (7 - 2:30), got paid for lunch of 30 mins, just a nice man who did not cheat people, had an impecable reputation. Even gave a Christmas bonus and a week off at Christmas, though not paid--Christmas was of course--, but still was nice. He was sorry to see me go, but moved again, said his office never ran so smoothly.

Jobs
Because the unemployed white collar workers wouldn't be caught dead taking a menial job such as receptionist at a doctor's office. Actually they can't take those jobs because their unemployment check is higher than what a doctor's office pays.
Trade jobs with him for a day
You may find that your job really is rather cushy! 
They have jobs & pay for all their own stuff. Just have to do away

Here, those jobs are HARD to get
The elementary aide jobs in this county pay @$12.00/hour (your location may vary),lots of paid holidays, great hours, vacation time, sick days, insurance, and retirement.
I worked as an aide in an elementary school in the past when I was in a master's degree program but left the program (and the area) when I had a financial downturn.
To give you an idea of what it may entail, in my school I had duties such as hall duty (keeping the noise to a dull roar and horseplay to a minimum in the morning before classes begin and after school), cafeteria duty (making sure the right classes go to the right tables and fetching forgotten forks, napkins, and condiments), bus duty (helping children get on the right buses), as well as things such as testing for reading level placement and working with one group of students in a subject while the teacher works with another group.
Some of the aide jobs are more clerical in nature, some are in the library, some are to help the special education kids. Once you get in, you can usually find your niche and gravitate towards it.
It is never routine! I, too, am a burned out MT now and would love to get one of those jobs again, but it is very difficult to obtain one here.
Court Jobs
Here where I live Court jobs pay excellent, plus there are all sorts of benefits, pensions, and a lot of time off. They're very had to come by, though. Some of them are civil service, and some is definitely who you know. I was a paralegal for a long time before I became an MT and I always wished I was able to get in the Court system.
I'm applying for other jobs now.
I go in for NICU secretary interview later this week. I just can't take it one more day. It has been many years of being bored out of my mind. I need to SEE people again too. Wish me luck!
State jobs.......
Problem is with state jobs the application process lasts for a good period of time, so he needs to review the cut off date for applications. It could possibly be another couple of weeks before the cut off. But, state jobs are horribly slow in replying to the applicants. I would give it this week, check the cut off date for applicants, and then call them and inquire if the position has been filled. At least he will know then.
Dirty Jobs
I am soooo glad in knowing I am not the only one who thinks he is cute! He just seems like he would be so much fun to be around and really enjoys life. I have no problem when my son changes the channel to what that. He just doesn't know I secretly like the host!!! 
Dirty Jobs
Same here, my husband and son don't know I like him either. I'm afraid that would ruin it for them and they would never want to watch it. I love the Mike. He is hilarious and I agree with the other posters - the goeduck episode was the best ever! I can watch it over and over and LMAO every time. I giggle just thinking about it.
Haven't had that many jobs....but
The most boring job I had was as a receptioninst in a small doctor's office. There was nothing to do beyond greeting patients, answering the phone and scheduling. I made busy work for myself, but even that didn't take too long to finish, so I got paid to read. Sometimes read 2 books a week.
I have to say the most interesting job has been since I started as an MT. There are days it is the worst job EVER, but I have always been intersted in the medical field and I usually learn something new every day.
MMM, Dirty Jobs - what's that guy's name? sm
He's hot. :D
I agree about odd jobs
My grandmother recently hired to different men to do odd jobs for her that she found advertised in the newspaper. I am not trying to tell you how to live your life, but in one of the ads the man stated that he was a Christian and that is why he got the job.
Offshore jobs
You know, sounds like a job like that would be right up my alley - my kids are grown and I love to cook. I'm looking for something with variety and want to relocate. Any tips on how to get jobs like that (I live in California). I'd pack up and leave here in a heartbeat...too danged expensive to live here...
I have worked so many jobs and so long
have lot more than the average bear to collect so I figure that (this is if I hold out health wise until then of course or even live for that part)that the 2 full incomes together will be icing on my cake. I want to make a decent salary now and cannot stand to think about them taking some of my money away (it is bad enough for the tax folks).
Have worked since age 13, most jobs ever was 4 at 1 time
I posted asking about taking social security early, not retiring because it is just not what I want to do. It is not that I cannot afford but like you, just want to continue on. I will reach total retirement age in 2009 but then I want my money from work, the money from social security and then I have a retirement from a hospital where I was vested of over $500 a month- I hope to be able to get all that. It would double the amount I bring in per month now because, get this, I finally got down to part-time (32 hours per week), only 1 job but totally addicted. It is so easy now, being at home, doing the same work I have done for 17 years, easy, easy!
Happened to many here - all different category jobs!
Kind of a domino effect, one industry affects the other, it's very common and hard on everyone because they "suggest" in some cases and "insist" in others upon taking unpaid days off. If you say "no" you are considered not a team player and probably be the first one out the door. Scary situation. Go along to get along and cut back on extras, I guess, if it's possible.
I have taken many drug tests for many jobs...
and never felt like a criminal. It is just the way things are. I would far rather have drug users weeded out of medical positions,welfare and unemployment than to not take the test. I don't know why anyone who does not use drugs would feel humiliated by taking a test. Just my opinion.
Although hard with our jobs, exercise helps. At least 45
sleepy
I've looked for jobs on CraigsList!
Nice site. My sister lives there, LOL.
Good for you. I could have worked 2 jobs, but I chose to
spend my time with my kids so they would know they had a mother, not just an I'll never ask anybody for help, never at home, money-making machine.
Anyone else ever seem to get GI problems when stressed out with these jobs. My abdominal area
actually feels sore or irritated.
Oy! Remember this..school counselors have these jobs because typically sm
they cannot hack it in the real world in their field. They try to intimidate parents when they can. I had one try to to tell me my daughter was dyslexic in the 4th grade. No, she was not. She just read at an 8th grade level then and the "baby books" (my daughter's words) bored her to death so she really did not read them.
Then at another point, she tried to tell me that she had a problem with math. Yes, she did. It was not her strong point but she was making B's so good. She started insisting on extra tutoring etc. I said fine. BUT hired my own tutor (as we live in the same town as a college that one of the majors is teaching). Boy, she really did not like that needless to say!
Counselors.. We can live without them and we don't have to put up with them. Just put he/she in her place.
TV crush -- Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs is So Hot!!!

Don't worry...
My last pregnancy my dates were off by a week also and my little girl was born 12 weeks ago tomorrow...healthy at 7 pounds 2 ounces...
Not to worry
He probably just wants to know what it feels like to wear diapers. The fact that he does it by himself in private says that he understands that you would not approve of it.
If he were regressing, the diapers would not be clean - they would be soiled.
It's not that unusual and absolutely nothing to be concerned about. If he is still doing it in 3 mos., I would talk to the pediatrician. But for now, let him be.
don't worry
I live outside Cleveland (Lake Erie) and you can only go to the beach a few months a year!
You still worry, but sm
after in college, even you pay the bills, they are adults, and deserve freedom and privacy. My house my rules sucks, for everyone. Let go. It will be okay.
More than that, I would worry about the
fact can you get insurance coverage there or if so, can you keep it? I am hearing loads of people being denied insurance on the coast and even people who have not been threatened or hit by these hurricaines, as higher up the east coast, insurance is being cancelled right and left. I love the coast line to visit but I would really have cause to think this 1 out really well.
Don't worry but...
this happened to two of our older cats (various times in my life) where they would get antsy and roam around and eventually would keep trying to get outside (not outdoor cats either) and when this happened they passed away and were found dead just of old age...Someone once told me and I do not know if it is true or not that some cats will want to up and run away when they know it is time to die...it is like an instinct. I don't know if I believe that or not, but it has happened twice to me...once when I was a child and later as an adult...so sad.
Thank you and don't worry, I'm
not listenting to the one negative post I got. I know what's best for my kids and I know giving them nurture and ALL my love is what is best. Like I said before, he is still scared to sleep upstairs and I only wish we knew we were going to have kids when we built our 2-story! Things would have been different and it would have been a 1-story, but oh well, you work with what you've got!
What me worry?
You see I named it "Mother of the Year" that was tongue in cheek referencing their mother.
Don't worry about it yet - sm
Having raised four totally different kids, I can tell you their personalities, development, everything was completely different.
One walked at 8 months (seriously) and another didn't walk until she was well over a year. The same late walker, never crawled, never bothered to learn to speak very much until she was about two. Her sister is very close in age (older) and they had this secret language that only they understood and big sis "translated" everything for her baby sis. Baby sis didn't have a reason to walk, talk, or anything else. She had three older siblings (the two older ones were 6 and 9 years older) who did everything for her.
Don't sweat it yet. Could just be a late bloomer. My late bloomer is now 15 and I can't get her to sit still or shut up! LOL
not to worry - sm
It's tough to tie ourselves up with something like this. I completely understand. During the past few years my husband has lost his job, got a new one, I have lost income to various reasons (mostly not enough work) but have managed to stick with the plan.
Sometimes it hurts just a little bit for sure.
In your situation, maybe you can set your limits a little lower according to your income each month but maintain one constant... the one you are trying to pay off. Other things can slide a little bit if they need to but just maintain that one bill that you are putting the bigger money on.
I should have mentioned earlier too - Car insurance!
Did you know that some companies offer you a tiny little discount when you pay every 6 months or once a year, rather than once a month?
I now pay about $30 less every year because I pay every 6 months. I know, it's only $30 but it is what it is right?
While everything may not really be negotiable, that's the attitude I have adopted and it has helped me change my money habits for sure.
So what if they tell you no the first time, or the second time, or even the third. Keep asking.
By the way, if you remember the name of that book, please post it. I would be interested in reading it too. Maybe there is something else I have missed that I could be doing.
I used to worry because I also have
no children and will not be a burden to my niece and nephew. I'm 52 now but am making plans for the future. I plan on moving into a 55+ condo, have insurance where I will be taken care of and socking away every penny. Otherwise I have no worries and enjoy being this age. I don't think I would want to be in my 20 and 30's again.
Should Alzheimer's set it and I am wandering around in the neighborhood with just my undies on, at least I'll think it's okay. But that is my biggest fear - not having my mind.
I do not think we have to worry there, now do we?
Looking at the audience in the RNP convention, no diversity at all so that is not a worry on my mind in the least bit. I told my daughter who is mixed, and wobbling back and forth about who to vote for, to just look at the gatherings on both sides- if on the republican she could count at least 10 black faces there, then vote that way. Just could not be done actually.
Don't do it and don't worry about it. sm
It's called chemistry, and this time it's only on your part. I'm too old to remember how it feels, but I do remember feeling intense physical attraction and infatuation in my much younger days, ha ha.
You can't get arrested for what's you're thinking. You also can't think of two things at once. If you find yourself fantasizing about this kid, just replace that thought immediately with another one--say, a task that needs doing in your home, or watch the news on TV.
Age difference is often no respecter of persons when it comes to plain ole chemistry. But self-respect and good family values are more important. You might just pray to get over it. :)
That's another worry
I am 50, so no spring chicken here, and this was all foreign to me. When I met him, I had no idea about all the dark clouds over him. He was semi-sober (he drank to toasted on weekends), which I could sort-of accept as normal, although admittedly I had outgrown that behavior about 30 years ago. A little while into the relationship, I found out that the reason for his semi-sobriety was that he was only a couple months out of prison on probation and was subject to random drug/alcohol testing at any of his Tuesday thru Friday therapy visits.
But I found him on MySpace and there was nothing in his profile to indicate he was an abusive alcoholic, and in the first couple of months, other than the Fri/Sat drinking, I never picked up on it. So I either don't have the AAdar (like gaydar, but for alcoholics) or the FLAYdar (for abusers) to have picked up on it, or I'm giving off some kind of phermone or have a 'look' that will make me a target again.
Don't worry
They go over that you may never be forgiven. They go over you may get divorced. You are off the hook. Do it while he is in treatment and he will have the support he needs and you will have the support you need to not be guilted into changing your mind.
He will change more without you, so you don't need to feel guilty.
Good luck.
Tell him to worry about his own home, and
if he doesn't like it don't come over and don't send his children over.
I hate it when people behave this way. HAPPY HALLOWEEN
I have lots more to worry about as well - sm
I have a 6-y/o daughter that is only 1 year out from her chemo for kidney cancer and has been having some worrying symptoms lately, I have bills, I have lots of home strife to deal with , I have a DH who acts younger than my kids half of the time and cannot deal with any major problems and has undiagnosed depression and possibly bi-polar. I carry a heavy load here so you are not the only one in this world with problems. OH, I am in the USA too, so what does that have to do with anything? The coat just angered me beyond belief, maybe it is the straw that broke my back, my way of venting, who knows, but it something I can at least try to take some action on and maybe get it back. I cannot control my daughter's cancer recovery, all I can do is watch and wait and see if we make it to 5 years recovery without any recurrence, for the bills I am trying to work harder and make more money, for my DH I just deal with him the best I can and do pretty well but not all the time. So I have trival things and big things to worry about and deal with, along with millions of others. Sorry if my kid's coat loss/theft was such a mundane topic to post about but I am/was T'eed off about it and needed to vent and get opinions if I could on this. Yours is duly noted.
Don't worry, after they have counseling
as adults and realize what they went through they will resent her for it and she'll learn the hard way. Happens all the time.
