Ranting
Feel free to skip this one if you want, ladies. I'm just ranting about my in-laws, there's nothing IF in this one.
This morning my MIL called to talk to DH and see how things were going on the job search. But her version of asking how things are going always ends up in her lecturing him on this that and the other. Well today she did the only thing that managed to piss DH off more than her lecturing him about how to get a job.
She told DH that if need be, they (as in she and her husband) will ONLY support DH, not me.
What the fuck?!? Really?
Now, I always felt that DH's parents didn't like me, but this just cements that, and proves to DH that they really don't like me. I always figured it was just my insecurities telling me they didn't like me, but now I know it was more than that.
My mother, for all her faults, would never say anything like that. She would support both of us, not just me.
DH spent half an hour crying and saying he was sorry. I don't know what he was apologizing for, but I'm sure it was the situation and his mother's words.
I just don't know what to do. We're afraid we're going to lose this awesome house we're now living in. And the job market in our city is absolute shit. DH has been pounding the pavement for three weeks and has only had one interview.
Tomorrow I'm going to go to the only indoor mall in our city and hand out resumes, but I'm not going to manage anything more than a part time, minimum wage job. It'll help, but it just won't be enough.
I am contemplating asking the college for my tuition money back and getting just the basic Office Admin diploma instead of the Medical diploma. That will save us a lot of money and allow me to look for a full time job, or work two part times. DH won't let me though, he wants to see me finish this and get the best job possible with the Office Admin - Medical diploma.
There are so many things I am regretting right now. I just don't know what to do.
Why can't life be easy for a change?

Seriously!!! WTF! How horrible. My parents have finally come fully around when it comes to scott. They were not huge fans of his to start with, but even then they would have NEVER said that. Wow! The nerve of some people! I am sorry, and I am sorry for DH because I am sure that made him feel like shit and pissed at his mom. Good luck finding a part time job! What about getting on in a medical office? Can you do that now before your degree is finished? For some on the job training? I am sure it would pay more than a job at the mall. Just an idea...
Unfortunately, since I haven\'t even started the medical aspect of the office administration degree, I can\'t work in a medical office. I can work in any other office, however, there are no jobs that I can find.
Hopefully DH can find a full time job, and my part time job will cover the difference of what we need or be more than we need.
Right now, we\'re looking at ways to cut costs, and unfortunately this house is a lot more expensive than we used to be paying. So we may end up having to find a new place to live again. :(
This really sucks. Your MIL is a bitch. I can\'t believe she out your husband in such a shitty situation by saying that to him. I will never understand how some people can be so awful to their family members.
Best of luck finding a job, I know how tough it is. You should look into a temp agency - that\'s how almost everyone I know got their first jobs out of college. Seriously, they\'ll be able to place you.
Ugh sorry about your bitch MIL. Job searches are so stressful. I agree that contacting a temp agency or recruiter will probably be better than most options. Good luck hun
