Would you just QUIT with a baby on the way?

My DH quit a full time job at a garbage/recycling depo to go shearing.
while I was pg with DS. He had 2 weeks off while waiting.
He went from regular full time work to casual work that relys on the weather! I wasn't pleased about it, but he's doing what he wants.
As long as your DH isn't planning on doing nothing for the next few months you should be ok.

NO he is a working man! lol would go stir crazy not working.

We moved to brisbane for this job and basically they are tieing his hands and not letting him do what they hired him to do. He will get a job very easily as he is good at what he does and we arent afraid to travel. I just hate that he has been so unhappy since we moved here for the position

MAz - he has been looking already but not applied as such, i guess it is a matter of just doing it all over again.

look it only money i say to hubbie all the time i would not expect you to do anything i dont expect from my self. We were in this position a few weeks ago too. Its only money and hubbies happiness comes first. We had some time he felt so was looking while still working for new job. i would quit if money is no issue especially knowing he cam get new job easily

Well in the area of $$ - it would be just living on our savings (mortgage) until he started again.
Are you doing ok now Squipida?

Amysarah - he isnt grumpy with me

Perhaps when i go into labour= he takes his leave and then hands in his resignation. At least then he will be at home to help me while looking for a job rather than having to take leave in a new job???

Thats a good idea. & he doesn't have a set time frame then either.
I know when I had DS I was terrified of DH going back to work.
I wanted him to be home as long as possible, his boss rang with in the week.
I did survive, but I was so scared of dealing with 3 kids on my own.

yeah hubbie still with same job but takes time off for interviews and what not. i think he is realizing split shifts aint to bad he gets time with baby. Also his job is more flexible than other ones and he has realised this.

A job Closer to home would be better and he is still looking Hubbie is seeing the small benefits in his current job and thats made him happier

DH went back to work the next day after the evening DD was born and we were living remote with no family and i just coped.

I think just like BJ said - it would be nice for him to have some time off with #2 to help.
