Missing work is it only me
I still talk to a few of my co-wokers oops! ex co-workers I still get invites out for after work happy hour but they know I can't go and even if I did I would be so out of touch on the current FYI i wouldn't be able to keep up with the convo. How do i handle this??? Plus I am missing alot of the perks from working one main one is a pay check!!!!! any ideas on dealing with this issue?

getting invites for events you clearly cannot make is somewhat rude on their part. why dont you suggest making a weekend day outing with them and their families?

you could just lose contact but that would be harder than hat u are going through. explain to them how you feel and maybe start up convos of your own.

though, I would like for my old co-workers to invite me to happy hour. even if I couldn't go at least I knew they still thought of me. Make a mommy group and have mom's night out!!

That's a good idea ( Hooking up over the week-end with their famlies) but all my co- wokers kids are grown or just about and I do feel good that I am missed and everyone wants me to come back am just going through i don't have a job blues i guess and i was wondering if something may be wrong with the issue of me missing work. Most womeni know enjoy the fact that i can stay home I am just trying to learn how to adjust.

Have you thought about a work at home business? Not only could you meet new people but you would start making money. Feel free to join my new group "I want to work at home".
Have a great weekend

Hi Tosh I stayed home for a year and half and then decided to go back to work. I missed work a lot and did keep in touch with some of my co-workers. I only went back part time so I feel I have the perfect medium. I get out of the house and I stay home with my son. I also missed the money too. I was so use to handling my own money then depending on my husband. Staying at home full time wasn't for me.

Hello, Im new here and was just browsing around and i saw your post. I felt the same way when i decided to stay at home, I missed work not only did i miss the pay check but i missed socializing with other adults. I did some research about working from home, and I found a group of Moms called Motivated Moms, they help other Moms work from home and earn a real income or just some extra cash. I joined and now I have the best of both worlds i get to stay at home with my kids and i get to work and make money. I have made some great friends and i meet new people everyday. I Love what I do. If your interested here's the website www.motivatedmoms912.tk I hope everything works out for you.

Boy, can I relate! I left a high paced advertising job in the city and moved to a suburban town. My son was very colicky in the beginning, which made it tougher. He is only 10 1/2 wks old, but making big improvements. I miss work a lot more than I had anticipated. Mostly I miss the income coming in, as we are now very strapped in these tough times and I hate not having any financial independence. It's tricky to figure out what to do b/c I'd have to make enough for it to make sense to put my son in daycare...which in itself is something I don't like the idea of.

Hi Jenna,
Have you ever thought about working from home. I work for an awesome company called AmeriPlan. During these tough times when people are losing jobs and insurance we are here for them. We can give them an affordable alternative to insurance so they are not left having to pay the full price on their dental, prescriptions, and healthcare.
If you think you might be interested in getting more information please let me know.
You can email me at rgodair@ameriplan.net

Many blessings
Roxanne
