[QUOTE="Star*, post: 339415, member: 4964"] Um........not sure but I think it's now illegal not to offer health insurance. As far as having a man YELL anywhere near my child? That's abuse. Period. If he wants to yell around you? You're an adult. Around your son? Abuse. Not paying you and "offering to help you through the weekend?" Wow what a gracious Bas#()$). Once...fine. Everyone has a tight spot, but more than once? No maa'm. You WORKED for your check. If he's that close to loosing financial stability - it's HIM that shouldn't be paid NOT the single Mother of a young child with bills. As far as day care? Check into ABC vouchers....they will PAY for your day care OR you can get an Earned Income Credit NOW on your check each week to subsidize that expense. I worked for Mr. type A - 7 years. So I know EXACTLY how it is. I felt I had to stay. EVERYTHING was my fault. Oh and I could bring Dude with me to work too on occasion. I had some "freedoms" that I felt I wouldn't have at other jobs. One day he gritted his teeth at me and swore using the f'ing verb. As In I had better f'ing X....do this and that. When I left the office? I slammed that door so hard I almost broke the glass in our office and the offices on either side shook so hard both people came out to see what happened. They thought a car hit our office. Nope, just me. I'm a door slammer. I didn't come back for a week. Things fell apart, his family was in crisis over him being in crisis. I got a written apology, a raise, a helper - she got a raise..and he never cursed again. He was still a jerk, but never to me. I would have cleaned his clock. The business closed, I helped him close it....I found another job - and life was a lot better. I wished then - going from Sr. Level Administrative Executive Assistant to fmr. House of Representatives with 5 degrees to the only woman on an all man construction crew - that I had quit YEARS ago. I took a pay cut of about 1/2....and threw away all but one pair of panty hose and 3 dresses. I cut my nails....gave away all my nice clothes....and I'm a lot happier. I will never ever again stay in a job where I waste years of MY LIFE being miserable like that for the sake of WHAT? Again. I can be miserably poor and come home laughing every night....much better deal. [/QUOTE]
