Go, have fun!

Right, "family issues" might not be the best way to state it, but if someone told me they quit working to stay at home, I'd assume they still had that option and was trying to work to earn "supplemental or disposal income" and consider them a flight risk. That's just me. I've just always been told to leave the entire fact…

Now that we're on the topic of degrees... Those are free now. You could consider going to school and working part-time as a future investment. Especially if you have "economic needs." My biggest regret... going to college right out of high school. I'll never be eligible for grants again, and I have a BA in Communications…

:drinker:

FWIW, while we're on hot topic of SAHM status, they will probably ask you about the previous gap in employment. I wouldn't recommend telling them you left your job to be a SAHM. I would tell them you had family issues that are now permanently resolved and leave the family out of the interview. IMO.

Same here. I gave it away.

It also depends on the turn around where you are applying. For a job like McDonald's that has a huge turn-around, five years is like forever.

I've heard millennials will work up to nine different career positions in their lifetimes. Times are changing. You don't just graduate HS, go to work at the firm and retire 30 years later anymore. Most of my jobs have been 2-3 years, and it's rarely a problem, especially when I explain that I moved on to accept a higher…

I felt this way a lot this month, and gained four pounds for it. But I'm really at peace with that. I wanted treats. I was busy and focused on other stuff (which wound up being wildly productive, not wasted.) And I know what caused the gain (pizza, beer and ice cream! At least it was "worth it"). So I'm at peace with that…

They boyfriend and I have this issue with each other. Since we've been working out 2-3 times a week over the past year we barely notice each other, but other people do. We notice a bit (tick examinations, you know) but not as dramatic as everyone else acts. :-)

Only if you did it in a mini-van! :drinker:

Some_Watery knows what's up!

You can do it! Just log, and remember, muscle weighs more than fat!

Squats! Try building the muscle there by doing barbell squats! Or on a big machine!

It's big deal! I can show two kids how much I love them for $1.08!

Yeah, she was on here earlier this week posting that she can't get pregnant because her hubby won't save up his allowance and she never spends money because she's saving for IVF but he spends too much money for them to save up for it.

I just laughed LOUD in the office. Dang!

I'm going going to leave this here: Yes.

^^ This so so this! Also, I've noticed that all my men have spoken derogatory of my house cleaning, but when I'm solo it's a sparkling effing castle. The trend? I love only having to clean up after me because I don't make messes! If the house is clean Monday morning, it will look almost identical Friday night less a load…

^^ Exact same! I was terrified of flying solo on one income... but now I can afford nice things like a new car and extravagant trips with less than half of my previous income!

I really appreciated being able to eat whatever I wanted. For some reason my ex and I had a difficult time figuring out what to eat for dinner, and it turned into bickering often.

My spreadsheet would be so boring. He initiated, we had super hot time, every, single, day. Except Wednesdays. We don't spend the night together on Wednesdays.

Hahaha

They also had a major issue with my cheese platter I brought to dinner. Such a snob... with her cheese.

With that being said... I was raised middle-class. I did date a guy once that's family was effected by generational poverty. They thought I was a snob because I cooked with olive oil. I don't care how much they make per hour, but we are going to have to be used to the same lifestyle. I use electricity, plumbing, multiple…

I don't care how much money he makes, as long as he works hard. If he works hard for $25,000/yr or $75,000/yr it's all the same to me. I want biceps and a good libido.

Welcome to the forums! **waves** Feel free to add me if you like! In the office right now!

My 10 year old girl has been crying because she wants school to start back up. When it starts, she'll be crying because she doesn't want to go. :drinker:

If one woman doesn't like another, the "another" can't even eat a cookie the right way without scorn. Trashy shoes have nothing to do with the shoes and everything to do with who's feet they're on.
