Super hormonal or validated rage?
Right now I'm currently 32 weeks and 4 days and I'm due in the beginning of July. My husband is wonderful and provides for both of us but works in a really toxic environment, we're talking unethical in every aspect so we both agree that he needs to find a new job. The pay is shit and after working there 2 years he barely has gotten a cost of living raise. The only good thing about staying at this job is that the company provides 2 weeks of paid time off for bonding with the baby and they are a bit more flexible with schedules for appointments and what not. Problem is I'm terrified that we will end up jobless, insurance-less, and penniless in the process of trying to find something to meet our needs. I've scheduled appointments, birth classes, everything around his current job including the tiresome task of setting everything up with the insurance.
He recently got offered a job where they want him to start in 1.5 weeks. I'm so happy and proud of him but I am freaking out. The base pay is about .50 cents lower than what he makes now but there are shift differentials and overtime pay that is union protected but I'm still nervous that we won't make enough to support us AND a baby.
I feel like he's concentrating more on the job than the birth of our baby. There's no question that he wants to be there, its one of the first things he mentions to potential new employers, but I don't think he's thinking about anything beyond that. I'd have to go to the birthing classes alone, all of the appointments alone. I'm not close enough to my mom to feel comfortable with her going with me to those. I just feel alone in this process now. And then I feel guilty because he's working hard and trying to provide for our family and here I am resting on the couch.
Am I over-reacting? Hormonal?
I just don't see how he can't wait until July to start a new job. But I feel selfish to ask him to do that.
