[QUOTE="mrscatinthehat, post: 200664, member: 2063"] When I was in the full swing of difficult child duties I didn't work. I wanted (needed) to be available. Then I started to volunteer a bit after difficult child 1 got placed at Residential Treatment Center (RTC). I kept doing that. difficult child 2 eventually ended up in placement and finally juvie. I happened to be standing at my husbands work when the owner said something about needing a cleaning person. I knew that it was late at night or early morning work so even with the out of town appointments for difficult children and stuff for easy child I would still be available. Then last spring I was offered a working position at the Red Cross in addition to the volunteer stuff. (They had watched me put in time on so many projects and new I was dependable) For that it is classes I teach and my boss there knows about all the trips and appointments not to mention easy child's games and such and schedules the classes to work with that. So over the last few years I went from no work (uh huh if you call running a difficult child household now work) to volunteering, to a part time job, to two part time jobs. Both jobs are great with scheduling and so flexible. beth [/QUOTE]
