Ok, here's my problem... I have been off of work for a couple of months now, due to tennis elbow from my repititous work. I work 3rd shift at a local store and my life is so tireing. Trying to keep up my housework, keep up with my boys, be a wife, and work this job was wearing me out. Now I have had 2 months of being "normal" and I want to keep it that way. I love being a mom and having fun with the boys, I'm keeping up on my housework, I'm able to have a relationship with my husband again, and I have enjoyed every minute of my time off. Even when I couldn't do very much because of my injury, I felt good and at peace. It feels great not to feel tired!!!
But, my husband says that he cannot make all the bills AND have food in our bellies and gas in our vehicles. I know I should go back to work, but I really don't want to. But, I want to help my husband out. He can't do it all, and he shouldn't be expected to. As it is he works 6-7 days a week putting in 56+ hours a week. It's not fair that I get to stay home.
As everyone in America knows, we are going through some hard economic times. Money is tight, gas is expensive, food prices are going up, jobs are scarce. Should I go back to work to help my family? Or should I quit and find something else that may not pay as much, but has better hours?
Any thoughts?
