Hooters fired me because i missed too many days. Its hard to juggle life and work with my little girl anything that happens to her is more important and for a while she had the flu and no one would babysit. :mad:

kids come first.

try to get an office job in a bigger established place where you have some protection - and regular sick days.


again - i showed great restraint and didnt make the "hooters = jiggle life" joke.

plus i didnt want to risk another thumbs down.

Haha thank you for the restraint. I think hooters was not a very good job for a mom to work at either.

any job is a good job ... the problem is that any service industry job is pretty bad with the benefits ... when you have a kid you REALLY need decent benefits .. although i dont know if they are as good as up here (canada) because of the differences in our healthcare systems

Oh yea especially at the hospital here alot of people are quitting. Its pretty bad

Um- hate to break it to ya, but there is a REASON they quit.
Most nurses and everybody under nurses are treated like crap and paid crap and have crappy hours

If you are interested in nursing-go straight into the RN program, yes it's alot of school but now they have special degrees you can work online during the week and do your clinicals on Friday.

Get a loan, most on line schools have a great system where they have people work with you every step of the way.
And here's the best part: once you get your RN degree=you can work doubles on the weekend and make a very good living.:)
So all you need is good childcare for 2 days which cut your daycare costs as well.
Not to mention less uniforms , eating out , gas , etc etc.-it all makes the working mom costs go exponentially DOWN:cool:

Good luck chickie, you'll do alright;)


You sound like a good mommy, I'm liking you better all the time:cool:
