also...I don't know about your state but most I know have the family/medical leave act which would pay your husband but still allow him to stay home because you are on bedrest. Kind of like unemployment...tell him to ask his boss for paid leave.

Hi, since you are on bedrest you should be eligable for Temporary Disability insurance...that might help pay for daycare so you can rest.

Read my post, my husband and I are in the same exact boat! I had to send my son to his 1st day of school today without a haircut. I feel awful, desperate and do not know where to turn. The sad part is we are so hard working too...I used to think this stuff only happened to people because they didn't work hard enough. Now I know I am sadly wrong...I iwill prey for you and your family if you prey for me too?

Hi all...I am glad I found this page. I am ready to have a nervous breakdown. I have 2 children, a 2 month old and a 6 year old. My son started 1st grade today. My boyfriend and I have always given our children everything we never had. We take good care of our kids. We rent a beautiful home thats great for the price we pay..I have a reliable car and he has his work van. We have always kind of just made it by but like I said...our bills were paid, rent was paid and my kids had everything they needed... nice things too...I wouldnt say we were ever poor. Well, it seems that ever since my daughter was born someone has decided to rain down on us with vengance because EVERYTHING has gone wrong. My boyfriends succesfull plumbing business has gone down the tubes and I was laid off in December when I found out I was pregnant so when I had the baby I switched to TDI...well to make a long story short I JUST found a job, not kidding. I love it, it is okay money but not enough to pay rent AND bills. My boyfriend swallowed his pride and applied for unemployment 1 month ago but has been looking for a job for months. Even for a skilled plumber there is NO work here in RI. We still have not heard on a decision from unemployment and he calls everyday...they just won't give him any answers and we need one. Friday we got an eviction notice because we haven't paid rent for August..(September is coming up, I do not know what to do)..we owe 1300 right now and if unemployment kicks in he will get back payment which will cover both August and September but we cannot count on that...he is looking for work and doing side jobs to put food on the table and diapers and formula and stuff but if we don't pay rent we are gonna be homeless and I cannot believe this is happening to me! See I have thought about our options...one was...do we just start looking for a cheaper place to live?? Well..my son Just started school today so to stay in this district so he can stay in school..honstly we would be paying equal if not more for a shit hole excuse my language. We ot a really good deal on this rental and we can't let it go. I can't uproot my son and move to the ghetto just because we hit a rough spot. What do I do??? I have applied for foodstamps, daycare assistance so that I can work 2 jobs and healthcare. Waiting on those apps as well..but my landlord won't wait...Im scared I feel like we are doing all we can but god just won't give us a break! Please help!
