What type of job do you do?? What does your job entail??? :smile:
I am currently unemployed.
Well, that's not entirely true. I stay home with my kids and help my husband with the business. I'm looking for a job, though, outside the home.
I will be heading into my 10th year teaching public school - 4th grade. I also work for Lifetime Fitness in their child care center. I get to hold babies there, so it is fun!

I was a housewife for the first 8 yrs of my marrige. I think of the tasks you do as a job. Taking care of kids and a house is just as much of a job,and maybe more so, than working outside of the home. :smile:

You must be a Saint. :smile: Working with children is a special job,that not everybody could do. It takes allot of patience I'm sure. You must love children. It sounds like a very rewarding job. :smile: You get to shape little minds. How cool is that??? :smile:

I hope you have some soon too. :smile: You're going to be a great Mom!!! Your working with children,so you've got some experience under your belt. I can see being a Mom will be easy for you. :smile:
Some days I think I should have been a teacher. Maybe school would've taught me better ways to keep my kids in line.

I think you probably learn as you go. Every situation is different. There is no handbook to raising children, too bad there isn't, because it would help allot.
Good lord! That's awful! I hate to hear of that happening to people.
Dexter I'm so sorry to hear that. It is amazing how children can let out emotions in ways where the average on looker thinks they are just being bad.
I do have a child that I'm very concerned with. He will be my Columbine kid. I'm sure I will see him in the paper for something in the next 5 years. I have talked to his mom until blue in the face about therapy. They can't afford it right now. I told her that she needs to not spend money on anything else until he gets therapy. He scares me.

I soo hope he gets help, because he needs to be stopped. You got to be real careful around him, he could bring a weapon to school. Has the principal spoken to his parents? I really do understand the money situation,maybe that could get reduced cost counseling. Some places go by your income. This sounds really bad and I don't mean to offend, but you might have to consider turning them in to CPS,it may be the only way, to get him the help he desperately needs. If it prevents another Columbine thats good. You have a keen eye for this and by you taking action you may prevent allot of bad stuff in his future. Most of all, be careful around this kid.
That is a very good idea but I won't do it ONLY because it too mom a long time to get full custody. Dad is the one that started the abuse and it was very difficult to get the courts to see that. Mom has been talked to by several people in school. It is very sad. I just don't think she wants to admit that he is that bad off. It makes me sad for him. I had his younger brother this year. He is much better but had a hidden temper. I didn't see it because he controlls it way better than older brother. It is scary to think that he might be the one to hurt someone. :no:

I just hope he doesn't hurt one of his classmates or you. He may be a bomb waiting to go off. If I was you,I'd watch him like a hawk. You hear it on the news all the time, about small children sneaking weapons into school. A couple months ago,a 8 year old boy in Connecticut, was caught with a pairing knife, in his book bag. He was expelled. The youth today have trouble realizing the difference between real life and fantasy land. I blame allot of that on video games and rap music. Kids are like sponges,everything they see and hear, soaks in.
I'm so scared for him because he is off to middle school next year and they will eat him alive!

Yikes :spooked: he'll probably get picked on and that will only make it worse. You might want to tell his next year teacher, a little bit about him, so they'll know what to expect and what to watch for. Going from grade school to middle school will be a big change for him. Maybe he'll do better than what we think. Maybe it will be a positive experience for him. (fingers crossed) :smile:
I doubt it. He tends to make things up. Like if he is walking back to his seat, he freaks out because someone said something about him. Meanwhile, it is a kid that asked the next one to borrow an eraser. I'm going to email mom today.
I'm an accountant, not a CPA though. I work a regualr 8-5 shift. I have many peaks and valleys at my job. Some days I'm here just posting on the computer, but other times I'm so busy my head feels like it spinning off of it's axis. LOL :smile:
Sounds like my brother. He's an accountant for the Hoosier Lottery.

Maybe he suffers from paranoia. :spooked: He needs help ,and he needs it now. It sounds like he's a bomb waiting to go off. :spooked:

Insurance agent currently....I also have national certification as a pharmacy tech....so if I get bored writing policies, I can go back to helping sell drugs. ;D

Sounds like you've got a good back up plan. Did you have to take allot of college classes for your insurance agent job??? I bet you had to have alot to become a pharmacy tech, probably several years??? Which job do you like better??? Which one pays better I'd think it would be the pharmacy tech??? :smile:
Actually I studied at home for my pharmacy certification. It took me about 6 months. I took the test and passed it my first time. I worked for CVS at the time and I was one of the first few techs to ever become nationally certified. The pay wasn't too bad, but I make more now in insurance. I also studied at home for my insurance licenses. Getting both of my license took me about a year.
I love both jobs, but if I had to choose, I think pharmacy would top the list.

Wow, I thought there was more involved in those jobs. Do you have your own insurance agency or do you work for one??? Do you do claim adjustments or underwrite policies. Do you travel to areas hit by natural disasters??? Gawd, I ask alot of questions. :biggrin:
Lol....I work for a major insurance company. I don't do claim adjustments or underwriting. I do have the authority to pay out claims if they are under a certain amount. Our company has a catastrophe team that works the disasters. I would love to join that someday or at least go on one of the trips to see what it's about.
I have an insurance license, too, but I'm trying not to ever sell again. I hate commission based incomes.
I am an audit manager for a large hospital corp. I have my CPA as well.
I am a bum. I don't have a job.....unless you call being a house mom a job. I am a taxi driver for all who need it, a maid, I do laundry when I feel like it, I go to school, I cook, I clean, I take care of the cats and dogs, I study, put up with everyone's crap, and probably a few other things. But I don't have a job that pays money.
smokey - reading about your "non" job just made me tired!

That sounds like an interesting job. Being on the catastrophe team would be neat, because you get to travel and also help people in need. :smile:
