My husband is doing day labor right now, and he absolutely hates it. It's all a bunch of drug addicts and stupid people. He's going through labor ready. Yesterday he cleaned bird **** off the stands at the race track, today he is doing construction clean up. He can't take much of this and I know it's pissing him off that he needs to do it, but we really need the money. He still hasn't found a full time job and I can't work. I feel pretty horrible for not being able to work.

I just hope things get better soon.

Hello Moreta: I stopped working probably around 15 years ago. My wife supported us. I have some idea of how you feel. Hopefully better times are coming...

My son went through this----and I came near myself years ago.
There may be things you and your husband can do to help him through this time---remember he is NOT the job, he doesn't have to socialize with others much, and, even, maybe make a Comedy of the worst of it.............small solace.
And, of course he must keep looking for something better---------oh this stinks.
