re: Having a breakdown (vent)

The only reason I haven't us because he has to work in a few hours and works 14 hour shifts and since he is the only one working I don't want him to get fired because he is too tired.

Well if you having a break down. I think it's a valid reason to at least sit down and talk to him about it and like someone suggested in writing a letter to him so he can read it in the morning because you can't just hold this in.

Quoting Angel's Momma.:" I don't feel like that would be mean. Like come on smurf your a dad now, bad day or not, you have a wife and 7 week old baby!"

true, its his duty, maybe he needs a little reminder.

that's what i'm thinking.

*hugs* those first few months are the hardest and i know where you are coming from because my husband also works 14 hour shifts. Take a deep breath! Bubby is probably upset because she can feel you stressed out. Wrap her up and snuggle with her on the lounge, that was how I got some shut eye on the bad nights. It will get easier.

most colleges will let you sign a medical waver for why you missed =)

Yes but the grant was a teaching grant through the state, you don't pull your end of the bargain they give it to someone else and you have to earn it back.

i had those too. the college is responsible for all of that at least mine was. if you do the paper work and wavers then they should get them back for you. people think if life happens thats it. i would at least look into a hardship waver and a medical leave waver you never know =)
