Here I Go Again.......

Janet · 02-28-2010, 01:25 PM

Ricky went to work last night and called me crying and very upset. He was fired. I just told him to come on home and we'd talk. I felt so bad for him. This coming August, Ricky would have been there 3 years. He really liked working there too. His job was in the back and he would have to price items, load and unload trucks and take donations.

He has never been disciplined either in all the time he's worked there until this new female boss came. She wrote him up once in January and again this month. Then she fired him.

Now he's going to have to find another job and quickly if that is possible. He has a small car payment, insurance and school. His father and I just don't have the extra so I'm not sure how this is going to end. I'm already stressed the way it is with Mom and being very unhappy in this marriage.

Mom talked me into doing her taxes...I didn't want to...so now I have that to do and then do ours. Guess I need to get busy. Ladies....I honestly don't know how much more I can take. I wanted so badly to get my teeth fixed and cleaned and now I feel bad because there just isn't enough money. Why does everything have to cost something. Wish we could barter, I'd gladly trade some things.

Sorry to vent again...I just feel like I'm losing my freak'n mind.

Ah Janet i am so sorry this has happened to Rick, i know i am the same with my daughter - we just want to go and sort out everything in their lives to make things right again for them!!!

It really annoys me when we bring our kids up to be honest, reliable, friendly, work hard etc, only to get s... on.

I know its going to be tough for him to get another job especially in these rough times, but i am sure he will be ok.

It is really hard with everything else you have going on, it must seem like - what next??????

All i can say is keep positive and take each day at a time, there are lots of people going through tough times, all you can do is your best - no nore and no less!!!!

Sending you a big hug, i am going to be thinking of you, and sending you my very best wishes.

Your time will come Janet - when you will only have to worry about trivial things and pleasing yourself.

Thank you so much Diane...you're are so sweet.

Blueyes · 02-28-2010, 04:34 PM

Janet, you HAVE to get your teeth fixed!! Don't you dare feel guilty about that for one second! It's not like it's a luxury or something. You have a plan and you MUST stick to it!

Ricky will find another job. I'm so sorry he got fired after working there so long. 2 1/2 years is a long time when you are a teenager! Whew...grown son tears are hard to take...

Hang on tight Janet. This too shall pass!

Janet, I am so sorry that Ricky lost his job. Hopefully he will find another one really soon.

You have had so much on you lately. Things have a way of working themselves out but in the meantime it just sucks. I am sending hugs and prayers to you Janet. And btw vent all you want! We are here for you just as you always are for us!!

Poor Ricky! I'm sure he is an excellent worker too! It is so hard when our children are hurt. Hopefully, he will find another good job right away.

I know you feel crushed under all of these things. I am praying for you, Janet, and you are in my heart.

I'm so sorry Janet! It just seems like it is one thing after another. I'm really sorry for Ricky! I don't know why some people just seem to be so mean and unfair. I hope he finds another job soon, it's tough, I can just imagine.

Sometimes there just feels like too much stress. When that happens to me, I just have to quit thinking about things, I just force myself to not think - I would go crazy if I did!

BIG HUGS!

DianaB · 03-01-2010, 08:26 PM

Things always have a way of working out.....it's just that sometimes it's very hard on us parents!!! There's probably a better job out there for Ricky anyway!!! Maybe even something to help him get in his field of work. Don't be discouraged!! God never closes a door without opening a window!!!

Janet · 03-02-2010, 10:33 AM

Thanks ladies. I know I stress about things a little much, but you are all mothers and when it comes to someone making our kids (adult of child) cry....I want to go after them...lol. Hurt me....but don't hurt my boy.

DianaB · 03-02-2010, 10:35 AM

I can understand that completely. I'm the same way.

Janet · 03-02-2010, 10:37 AM

I know!!! I love being a mother as I'm sure you do, but this protective thing can really get to us. Good thing I don't like violence....LOL
