WAW - Very confused and devastated - pt 10

[confusedinpa]

Concentrate on yourself buddy.

Hang in there.

Thanks Stuck.

I'm trying to hang in there as well as follow Kittyfish's comment that my kids are being exposed to way too much grown up stuff.

It was really apparent when I picked up my 7 year old and the first thing he asked was if I had found a job. I told him no, but it will take some time and I am working on it. He said that if I needed any money I should let him know. I thanked him and told him that I'm fine for now but do appreciate his offer.

When I tucked my kids to bed tonite, my 3 year old if my old job found any more money yet so I can go back to work. I just told him that they haven't and I'm not waiting for that. I'm looking for some place else to work and that we will be fine.

Both of my boys know that money does not grow on trees as they have been brought up to be careful with money. I make them save their present money for their big ticket items (i.e. bike, video games, etc) and I give them each a fixed amount when we go to the book store so they can't just buy random books (the sales tax usually messes them up, but I do help them out when it comes to that).

Thanks again for all your support. Maybe I'll make it out to Hawaii someday to buy you a beer or two.

Take care
