I'm in the final stages of possibly landing a job at a phenomenal company out of state, in an area I'd love to move to. My SO and I would rent out there but we need to sell our house first. His job is flexible so no issue there and we don't have kids. Luckily we live in a desirable area where the houses…
Here are a things to keep in mind:
1. Doubt doesn’t make you an imposter, it makes you human.
2. You’re never going to know everything - no one does. …
Since then, I’ve been actively applying for jobs but rarely hear back. When asked why I’m looking for a new job in interviews, I haven’t always been sincere, giving different reasons. Recently, I decided to be upfront and told an interviewer that I was made redundant. But their response thre…
How do you deal with the catty "doubting Thomas" coworker?

Im sorry you are having to live like this. It sounds exhausting for sure. Can you save any money at all to get out into a small place on your own? Can you look for a different part time job so that you aren't getting home so late?

I am stuck in one of those catch 22's. My son and I moved into my mother's home about 5 years ago knowing she was going to retire. She was so much better then. She didn't sit on the couch all day or send facebook messages (that I don't have time to read). She has an autoimmune system due to having rheumatoid arthritis and she fell about a year ago and ended up needing a rotator cuff surgery. The entire point of us moving in with her was so that my now, 19 year old son could help her with the heavy stuff, and I keep shelling out cash as well to help. Everything extra goes to her, I save a little when I can, but life keeps happening. I wouldn't be able to leave unless I can get one great job that covers what I make working 2. That is the catch. I have my resume out there, I just need to find the time to make a couple different versions of it, so it's geared toward management or administration. I have thought about that many times! Time to let go and let God.

I work a regular shift at my day job, I just get paid much lower than I should be. 3 years here, no raise, and a lot more responsibility. So any part-time job after that l would be available will be in the evenings. I don't want to work later than 10. Working on weekends sucks the life right out of me since my day job is super-stressful.

Sad to say- I heard and hear the same from my mom. I do what I can. She can take it or leave it. I stopped letting it weigh on me. I am not superwoman.

I guess most moms are like that. I feel like 49 going on 19. The most frustrating part is that it comes out so condescending. I'm glad one person out there feels me directly!
