Things have moved on a bit, now i'm pregnant again (see next post on this) and John is a lot better but now his job is under threat.
To be more exact it's his company rather than his job. If his company folds, which is looking increasingly likely day by day, we've got some options:
- Look for a much lower paid job in the local area
- Get a job outside the area and commute a long way
- Get a job outside the area and move
So now I have 'secret stress' because there is no-one I can properly talk to about this. We've only lived here for 18 months and i've worked really hard to make us part of the community and find some (still not very close) friends, but who is going to want to be friends with us if we might move.
Another thing is that a couple of people I have mentioned this to think that I should just let him commute. Am I the only woman in the world who prefers being with her husband in the evenings? I love my husband, we are happy together, I enjoy spending time with him.
There is a possibility of a 'top job' in the new year but i can't imagine anything worse than being stuck with a toddler and a newborn baby and a husband doing a 12 hour day plus two hours commuting or worse, living away during the week.
My mother (who is so different from me I wonder sometimes whether I was brought by the stork) says 'don't worry about it till it happens'. I'm not like this, I need to think things through and make plans.
Option 1 looks best but it requires a psychological leap i'm not sure my 'over-achieving' psyche can take.
