So finish the story. What DID you do? How long were you unemployed? Where did you get the money to continue to take care of the twins, a pregnant wife and a new baby nine months after that? Did you get a job? Did your wife go back to work? Anybody in the family offer to help with daycare?
I mean you got me here at the climax (no pun intended) of this high family drama. I'm on the edge of my keyboard. What happened next?
I worked my ass off to get another job. I switched careers. We came very close to losing our house, but I made getting a job a full time job until I got another one.
Things were very tight during that period, especially since our hot water heater decided to explode at the same time.
Our daughter lives. Happily. That's the only ending that matters.
Nice anecdotal answer. How LONG were you unemployed? Where did the money come from in the interim?
What you experienced is only 1/300,000,000 of what counts in this country. Got it?
You asked him for the anecdotal answer. Why the heck are you complaining about it?
And how does the fact that it's anecdotal make it any less true?
I've struggled with jobs that don't pay enough and large bills. It's something almost everyone does. And the Lord provides what we need when we need it. And what I don't need, I cut out of the budget as much as possible.
Of course, it would be much easier to make ends meet if I didn't have the Government taking so much of my paycheck every week. I'd prefer to work less for the government and more for my family.
