IMDB rating: 5.30
Plot: Nicole broke up with Matt months ago and is now engaged to someone else. He’s very good-looking and has no trouble finding other lovers, but that doesn’t help because he’s still obsessed with wanting her back. Then he gets the inspiration that swearing off sex for Lent (all forms of sexual activity, even kissing or masturbation) will give him the perspective he needs. So of course a few days later he meets a woman and they fall in love. Now Matt sees his vow as a personal matter, and won’t even tell her about it, but his friends think otherwise, and now the complications begin…

one parent income with 5 yr old and baby on the way?
My husband works only 20 hours a week…thurs-sun….4-night. Our 5 yr old goes to preschool from 11:40-2:40 and we need someone home to drop him off and pick him up. We have no one around us to help and they do not provide buses. We are really struggling to pay bills and buy food and gas. I am six months pregnant and he thinks I should get a part time job to help out. I do work 1-2 days a week serving but it’s nothing right now. Can I even get a job being 6 months pregnant and how could I get my son to school and picked up? The other option is him getting a 2nd job and its not what I want but we dont have a choice at this time as I see it. He wants me to get a job. He plans on starting school in the summer and I really dont know how this is goin to work. What would you do? I feel so worthless and helpless. He can go back to being a restaurant manager and making lots more money but he hates it and doesnt want to go back.
yes, that’s how I feel MT….as for the 2nd poster, we are NOT on welfare or have we ever been thank you very much!
Just to clear some things up….this was a planned pregnancy and we werent struggling then. His hours just got cut in Jan. He was working over 40 hours a week and we were fine.
You could get a job, but in this economy and being noticeably pregnant, that would be tough.
I would feel like an absolute jackass telling my pregnant wife to go support me.

I guess you all will start sucking the government teat, huh, since neither of you want to get a full time job to support your family.
And this is why I think there should be limits to welfare.

I think your husband needs to man up and take care of his family.

I think you could find another part time job to work around the school schedule, set it up so that you work when your husband is home. Then your husband won’t have to get 2 jobs. The other stuf you will have to figure out as it comes
o boy I just saw that he works 20 hrs a wk…. first of all your man needs to get a FT job, THEN, you need to get a light duty PT one… they’re out there…

Why did you decide to have another baby at this time if you’re struggling so much? You do know what causes it right? Your husband needs to realize that he needs to support his ever growing family whether he likes it or not. You can get a job after the baby is born if he wants you to work. You can work diff. shifts…him at night you during the day. That way someone would always be home with the kids. That’s what my folks did when we were younger and my father worked from before sun up to way after sun set to support us. Now he is 63 and retired early. And all 5 of us kids are married with jobs and college degrees. Tell your husband to quit whining and when this baby is born…GET ON SOME BIRTH CONTROL!!

Try finding an online career so you can work from home on your own time. Pregnant or not you can make your own hours and work as little as you want or as much as you can handle

Bottom line question—do you have enough money or not? Because if you don’t, then it really doesn’t matter what he likes to do or what he prefers—he’s the husband, and he is responsible for taking care of his family. As for you getting a second job, forget it. You’ve got a pre-schooler and an infant on the way. If he’s starting school this fall, then he needs to be arranging for financial aide, student loans, and/or a work-study program to foot the bills as well as cover tuition and costs.
It’s admirable that he wants to go to school, but it’s ridiculous to the point of being asinine that he’d expect the pregnant mother of his pre-school child to support the family. Perhaps he needs to put his schooling on hold till the kids get older and the household finances can be stablized. During that time, you can try some sales opportunity or try to find some suitable work you can do out of the home to help out when that time comes. But you taking a second job is out of the question right now—and he should know that.
