Stay at Home Daddy

Well life has changed significantly in the last week but all for the better. My husband is no longer working for the company he gave 5 years of hard work and long hours to. We will adjusting to beooming a one family income. It will take some sacrifices on our end but it will be worth it! My husband worked many longs day (usually 12 hours) and most weekends. He really missed out on being around and enjoying family time. He often came home and the baby was already in bed and usually saw him in the mornings before work/daycare. Now he is taking on the role of staying at home with Niam. I think him not working is truly a blessing-he is happy again and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted from his shoulders. When a company changes management you have no idea how much that can affect a person until you are living it. My husband's new boss literally sucked the life out of him. He was 100% all about his company and promoted it 24/7. He really was a poster child for that company and a lot of his coworkers, family and friends saw it. In May 2013 his new boss came on and damn she was out to get him for sure. He had other employees tell him to 'watch his back' and that she was targeting him. In the state of North Carolina you can be fired/terminated/let go for no reason and so on October 7th when my husband went into work he was told he was done. When he called to tell me the news I was shocked. Truth be told there went 2/3's of our income but as the day went on I felt good about it. By the time I was home I could tell he was feeling even better about it and could actually breathe again, laugh and relax. So now he will focus on school and staying home with the baby and I will being the 'working momma'. It will work because it has to work. I look forward to my daily text messages, pics, and Face Time with him and the baby. I love that he is getting to be home with Niam during a time when all he wants to do is play and explore. This time with him is good for the both of them. Eventually he will go back to work and when he does I pray it is for a company and a boss that respects him as much as he respects them.
