I am at a loss

I would see this as their final warning, and then let them go. I understand how it feels to need the money, but no amount of money is worth disrespect.
I enjoy terming jerk parents- I think it teaches them a nice life lesson.
My dh has also mentioned taking on the business side- my mom too :: , but once you get tough, it becomes easier.

I also third that BC is the best with this kind of advice. She always helps me see the other side and when I don't listen to her, I wind up kicking myself ::

4-years in and I'm still so green. I believe it was BC that gave me the perspective I needed to see things differently. I was counting the days till my youngest went to school and I could go back to working at the hospital. Well I believe it was her that said if I do this till dd goes to school then it is like a death sentence that won't ever end and I will remain miserable. I took a long hard look at things and realized the benefits of doing it long term. Like last week I didn't have to take off because of the snow to be home with my kids. When my kids are sick I don't have to worry about loosing my job. I'm home everyday my kids go to school and come home. My income is a little less than I would make at the hospital but I don't have gas, scrubs, meals, daycare, before/after school among other things. I don't mind the solitude so much because I'm not a social person to start with. I feel better since I started going to gym an hour every night giving me a break from my 4-year-old.
