I haven't been on in six months or more, looks like. Anyway, I guess I might need this site again.

Husband came home early today and said he quit his job. His job was the majority of our income and we were doing really well, but he was working 6 or 7 days a week, twelve hours a day, and was barely functioning outside work, so...

I'm just stressing out about it and worrying that we won't be able to achieve our goals.

Pros: We'll actually get to see each other for more than an hour or so each day and he won't be half asleep when we see each other and he'll get more time with the kids and he'll be home so he can help with chores and such, because he wants to be a stay-at-home dad, at least until he starts college next fall, and we won't have to have the kids in daycare.

Cons: HUGE pay cut, can't save up for a house like we were wanting to, won't have the money to get out of the house except for me to work and for groceries, spike in my anxiety levels, and kids love going to "school" as they call it so they'll be wondering about that.

He says I won't have to worry about the house and the kids because he'll take care of that now that he's home, but now my stress levels go up even higher because of guilt over him being home taking care of kids and all that. Before, it was both of us working full-time and we could do daycare and we were okay with bills and everything, able to start saving up a lot, etc...Now I'm kind of freaking out.

I mean, with the job I have now, I'm making a decent amount of money so I could support us, but we'd just have to cut back on a lot of thing, like saving up for our first house and fixing our car. I'm also not sure how my husband thinks he's going to pay for going back to school like he wants to, and I don't know if he's got the ambition to follow through with it even if he can pay for it. But I guess I'll just have to see how he pulls it off...

I guess I just want someone to tell me it's going to be okay...
