Fuming Today....:(

I know this job looks lucrative and you want to try it out but I have a suggestion since you have so much fire in you look for a part time job between your kids schedule so when they are in school you can work. Dont give up my friend keep on looking instead of 16 hrs in 2 days do 4 hrs in 4 days.
Dont want to be nosy but what job is this? May be the whole indus lady community can help you find a new part time job I see most of them are in US and might have connections.

 

Can understand your frustration...
Your job and your neighbour are 2 different issues...
Neighbour- tell her that " sorry, though I'm a housewife I'm extremely busy.. I work from home and for my home...I would help if I could "
Job- see maybe your husband is not actually against u going for work..but is really not able to commit to devoting 2 days every week due to his nature of work...maybe he really doesn't have the freedom and flexibility to do so...due to increase job responsibilities and high work pressure...
Will give u example..I'm living india and sahm as u already know...my hubby too has a very hectic and stressful job with no fixed work hours..he may come home somedays at 11 pm also...weekdays also sometimes they ll call from office for critical issue....suddenly he has to travel to other location.. .if I were to ask him same thing I.e if he can come home early 2 days every week he will have to say no..only for emergencies like illness I can request for little adjustment...
But what to do...I also want to earn and come up in life ..
On the other hand my friend joined work recently.. she finished cooking and household works with help of maid and leaves for office by 8 or 8.30 am...her husband drops the kid to work by 9 am everyday, then picks up from day care at 6pm..then he works from home and manages kid simultaneously....my friend reaches home by 8 pm and then takes over..friend's H has a very flexible job, with flexi timings and wfh... his office is walking distance from his home which are advantages for him..should I feel envious of her? Do I feel envious of her? Very rarely.. mostly I dont..

 

Have u done any IT related certification? Is that a possiblity to do it in some community college first instead of going for work immediately?

 

First try to move the after school activity schedules to other days and try to find a before and after school care in your community or ask other homemaker moms if they could provide care for a payment. It should not cost that much.

neighbor — nip it at the bud , say it is not possible for you ...

 

Congratulations !
Your husband’s attitude can be either he is very practical, and cannot give you two days. Or he is happy with this arrangement of a housewife at home, taking care of kids.
You have to think, plan, and work this out very seriously ! Think about all the pros and cons, and then decide.
And yes, your neighbor friend, tell her you are a full time employee in a company called HOME.
