I'm glad you are having a nice evening. And I hope your husband finds work soon. These are very stressful times for so many people. Hopefully things will get better soon Have a good evening... About supper. Fix something quick and easy so you'll have more time to relax

Gosh, those really were great suggestions, weren't they! Hope your life continues to get easier!

Oh Linda, I'm so glad that things are better!!! Sometimes men just need a little push. I know that my husband would do things if he just knew what needed done in that situation. We just have to learn to speak up.....so good for you. I'd have him doing the sweeping and cleaning too. There's no reason for your weekends to be so full of cleaning that you can't enjoy your time off. I do hope that your husband finds a job soon because I know that it's a worry for you. Hugs.

Oh, Linda, so hope things work out for you very soon!!! Not having any alone time is something that you can adjust to. I'm very seldom alone. Since I work in another town, hubby is almost always home before me, and sometimes he will work from home and never leave. He does do things around the house, but has gotten pretty lax lately, so I'm feeling the pressure to do more when I'm home. Home building has been slow lately so he has more time off, but he's working on his projects in the garage.

Your husband may be concerned about taking a job he feels is below him, and how it may affect future employment opportunities. However, in this economy, future prospective employers will understand a resume with a gap in employment, or a job that is not in line with the rest of your experience, and will understand that you are working to get back into your preferred field. Employers now respect that you are trying to support your family in difficult times.

I just hired a new warehouse person yesterday who had been laid off from his previous position since December 2008. His experience is wonderful for our line of business. We could have never have gotten someone of his caliber in better times, just hope he stays when things improve.

Will be praying that things improve in your world very very soon!!

I'm glad you had a list for him. I remember getting so angry with Rick...I just was not use to having him around so much and it got so I hated it. It will get better Linda....but he does need to find something, whether it's in his field or not.....he has a family to support. Has his family found out he's not working yet?

Linda you are so entitled to vent honey.. We are here listening.. It must be very frustrating with him home. This economy is terrible you have to make the best of it. He needs to hit the pavement and take any work for now and in the meantime give him your honey do list every evening.. Men need to be told what to do, why not let him cook , do laundry everything you would be doing if you were home. It is only fair.

I work to and I have the job where I work weekends, and it is so nice to come home to either hubby taking me to dinner or cooking on the weekends. I am not fussy. lol

It is very depressing and I wish him luck in finding employment. I have my son home who graduated this past Spring with a degree in fiances. He goes online and sends resumes . I told him to go to the city < Wall Street > and hook up with head hunters that is their job. He said he has called several but there are no entry level jobs. So ladies keep him in your prayes too....

I'm sorry Gina, that your son is having a hard time - it must be hard in these times to get an entry level job in markets where there are lots of experienced workers looking for jobs.
