OMGosh!! I've been a SAHM for 13 years (just recently started doing retail... NOT my thing... lol). Anyway, it is soooo hard trying to find work!!! I'm now signed up with 3 temp agencies. I can't believe it's taking me forever to find a job!!
I know *I* will feel better once I get back to working full time. It kills me cuz I've gotten spoiled staying home with the kids and being with them so much, but I think being back among adults will be a good thing, too. I think it will help my self esteem.
I rely on DH's paycheck, too. (We still share bank accounts where his paycheck is deposited.) My pt job is only about $100 a week and it's not always that much!
About taking his word as gospel. I do that, too... but only the good things. The bad things I try to reason away... lol
