Just something short and ranty I need to get out somewhere. I have a feeling there will be a few of these.
If your husband is unemployed after quitting his last job in a fit of pique; if you are working two minimum wage jobs six days a week just so you can pay rent and feed your family; if your car has been broken for several months and desperately requires repairs because it's not safe for long-distance travel and your husband's line of work will require semi-regular long-distance travel; if you already have two cats and have a long history of dumping animals because you don't know how to train, handle, and/or socialise them... then it's quite possible that now is not the fucking time to bring two new, expensive, extremely high-maintenance animals into your household. Try having a stable income and enough disposable to repair your goddamn car first.
If you are unemployed after quitting your last job in a fit of pique; if your wife is working two minimum wage jobs six days a week just so you can pay rent and feed your family; if your car has been broken for several months and desperately requires repairs because it's not safe for long-distance travel and your line of work will require semi-regular long-distance travel; if you are resorting to selling ad space on your wife's special interest forum to avoid having the phone and modem cut off... then it's quite possible that you should stop arguing about seat belt laws with teenagers and get a fucking job. Swallow your goddamn pride and apply at McDonalds if you can't find something else.
The general message I'm getting form this notable pair is, "We're not moving out of the country that we obviously hate and despise, because it's perfect, and we're going to work and change it with our dead-end jobs and total lack of any tertiary or vocational education in the most competitive job market in our state." Please. For the love of everything holy. Do not be like these people.
Thank you.
