I am expecting child #2 in July. I am a professional in a field where the more years you take off, the harder it is to get back into it. I went to school for 9 years and have a loan that will take 30 years to pay off. The loan is as much as a expensive car payment. We have credit card debt as well.
I would be able to pay off the debt if I can get a two to three day a week job in my field. God is closing the doors right and left. I already mentioned in another post that my field does pay well, so the cost of daycare and other expenses wouldn't be a big deal. A job that was a shoo-in....I probably didn't get, either. There is really no reason except the possibility of pregnancy. I work for school districts and am having a baby during the summer so that shouldn't be an issue.
So, here I am...God knows what we need. I am getting depressed because I have exhausted all but one school district in the whole city and surrounding cities. I may need to stay home and take in two daycare kids. I really question whether I would be able to do that. I wanted to work because of our bills and wanted to have the other three days a week to take my older son (of course the younger one would come) to museums and mommy/child events and play dates.
Has anyone else experienced the doors shutting on them like this to discover that God wants them home full time? How did you make the extra income that was needed (trust me, with our bills it is needed)?
I need some support because I am feel so rejected at the moment. Three school districts have rejected me and I have the best recommendations ever!! I feel I did fine in job interviews as well.
I do feel like pregnant women and women who already have children are discriminated against in this town I live in! I am so frustrated, anxious and depressed right now. I have no fingernails left.
Oh, I must say that I almost lost this baby at 13 weeks by my water breaking. At that time, I prayed to God asking for a miracle. I prayed that I would do anything to keep this baby and if that meant moving to a different town or state where I could work part time or stay home I would....we did end up moving to a different state. Perhaps he is taking me up on that prayer and wants me to stay home full time. How in the heck are we going to pay off the bills???? We truly need a miracle.

I wish I had some good advice to offer. I don't, but I can offer prayers instead, which will probably be of more use.
