1cat2ferrets Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hubby came home at noontime and told us his plant is closing down. He worked there for 24 years and, now, nothing. Don't know what to do...so depressed. Guess I'm going to have to get a job now after NOT working for 20 years....very depressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mynyel Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I can't offer much but :grouphug:. I am working part time and so is my dh. So we have 1 full time income between us (such as it is). My dh lost his job last Sept and has only been able to find part time. So I completely understand! :grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessed3x Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 :grouphug: My dh is also unemployed. It is hard, but there are pluses. We are really enjoying having him home. :) He and our ds8 are currently building a castle- making the bricks and everything. He would not have had time for that before.

HRAAB Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'm sorry you're having to face this. We've been in the same situation - dh lost his job after 28 years with the same company so I understand how you feel. :grouphug::grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5LittleMonkeys Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I don't know how you feel and I can't even begin to imagine. I am so sorry.

Denisemomof4 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 That's awful! I'm SO sorry!!! Maybe a few years from now it will be a blessing. The one time dh was because the company, a start-up, was closing it's doors. It was so horrible at the time but now we are very happy things worked out as they did. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desert Rat Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'm so sorry for you, Joanne. I just went back to work 5 months ago after being a SAHM for 10 years. I know what you're feeling. Dh has been laid off for 10 months with no hope in sight. We're starting to look into different training for him. But the days of those glorious big paychecks are gone. Gone. Gone. I'm still angry about the way my life has been changed for me, through no fault of our own (dh was in home building). But, I've been very lucky to find 6 houses to clean plus a bookkeeping job for the charity my dad started. I'm trying to count every blessing, but dang is it hard!

katemary63 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Hubby came home at noontime and told us his plant is closing down. He worked there for 24 years and, now, nothing. Don't know what to do...so depressed. Guess I'm going to have to get a job now after NOT working for 20 years....very depressed. You'll be okay. At age 40, I went to work full time for the FIRST TIME in my entire life when my DH was fired from a job he had for 18 years. (corporate buy out). I worked at Menard's as a cashier for six months while he looked for work. I hated it but I'm proud that I did it! (Haven't worked since though!) He eventually found another job in another state, we moved and love it here. Even if it takes awhile, you can do it! You can help out and eventually, he'll find another job and you'll be fine. Sorry you are having to go through this, but take comfort in knowing that lots of people have BTDT. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandelion Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I'm sorry. :grouphug: It's a tough situation to deal with (both DH and I have been laid off in the last couple years - from the same company). Hope you find a solution that works for you and your family... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
