Would you just QUIT with a baby on the way?

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.

maybe you could apply for jobs for him IFYKWIM...you know what kind of job he's interested in....write the letter and send them in for him. I did it for Jed and he got a job within a week of doing it
BUT

I do like him taking his leave when you have bub and then quiting....he could also use that time to look for a better job
