I want to cry
I stupidly gave up my apartment back in February, mainly because the job hunt in the new city wasn’t going to well.
I’m now 31+5 weeks pregnant & stressed as hell. I’m 22 & have been staying with my parents also with my 2 year old. It’s a 4 bedroom house but all rooms are occupied until August (both my siblings are moving out of town on campus for college) & my baby is due end of July. My brother came back home, originally was supposed to leave next week but decided to stay until August last minute ruining my plans! My 2 year old was supposed to move into the room he’s currently occupying right now next week when he left but now I won’t be able to set up his room, nor my newborns crib & dresser.
Apartments are hard to come by in this small town, usually if you need a place right away you move out of town into the city. (Housing applications is how people get housing here + a really long wait list)
My spouse & I, we could have first & last months rent available for an apartment by July 1st. But that leaves us with a place but unfurnished. Plus I’ll be on MAT leave which will be unpaid, so I plan on going on EI. My spouse will be the only one bringing in good money, but he requested paternity leave so... no income for the month of August. (He took a month off) I’m at a loss. I’m so stressed on where my family will live comfortably 😪 do we just risk it & find an apartment out of town? Or try & squeeze in here somehow. ugh. I wanted to take part in the process of setting up my sons bedrooms. But now I won’t be able to if I stay here.
