The big fat R that has been hanging over us for months has finally happened...
Ha ha - yes it is very stressful...for the wife.
REDUNDANCY- GAH!
It has been lingering in our lives for the last few months.
We have had many a conversation about the pros and cons of taking it versus the husband continuing to work away from home.
I have had sleepless nights worrying about what could happen if the husband never finds work. Again. Ever.
I sometimes think he is crazy to walk away from a very well paid job in these times of economic uncertainties.
I worry about the possibility of having to be a working mum and the sole earner in a years time if it all goes tits up.
I worry about the husband's ability to cut it as a SAHD.
I worry about the mortgage, the car loans, the life insurance costs.....
But it had to be done. For the sake of the husband's health, our marriage and the children - who were seriously missing him - it was the choice to make. Things were too complicated to just up sticks and relocate. So we had to face the big fat R and bravely take everything it may throw at us.
I am sure I will be spying more Rs in the coming months in our house: resentment and rage possibly? But for now I'm heading over to Mum of One's linky to see what else has been spied this week.
