How can I best support my husband?

jobs are hard to find, and the best way to support your husband is take a few day to just relax. Its the hardest thing to do when you are so worried about money, but its good for the soul. Avon is a good job, and you CAN make good money at it! I know you said you are pregnant, but pregnant isn't handicapped. You obviously have a computer, so set up a website for your Avon, start selling it! This is the time for you to fill your hubbys shoes, and he to fill yours, until further notice. Other than that, help him perk up his confidence by telling him what he's good at, and giving him som resume beef! you can find help tips for marketing and business all over the internet!

You poor thing, this really is a bad situation. unfortuately you are not on your own at the mo.

You know your hubby best and im sure he is feeling preety low too at the mo.

Easier said than done but if your hubby is the good sort he will already be having a few ideas of his own planning for the worst but probably be keeping them to his self so not to stress you in your pregnancy.

If it makes you feel better, source what benefits you are able to get, put the job search websites on your favorites and plan your finances but sure there is no need to present this to your hubby until he asks for help or the redundancy happens and he does nothing.

To support your hubby you need to try an stay positive. redundancy may not happen to him and go for that thought at the mo. If the worst happens try to keep his spirits up, ie look at the plus side, gives him a chance to study for a better job (which will be funded) opens door for a career change. Gives him chance to spend more time with the girls. Try to show that you are confident things will be fine and hopefully this will keep his hopes up to that either he wont be made redundant or if he is, he will maybe be empowered into moving on quickly rather than dwelling.

Really hope you are one of the lucky ones

Wow, now that's life for ya. It's full of blessing and hard times as well. I can definitely see where your husband need support right now. Being pregnant it is going to be very hard on you. But, your distress will only make things worse on him. Try to have a friend or family member that you can vent your worries to. He might take everything you say personal right now, he is probably very vulnerable at this time with the weight of the world on his shoulders. i know money is hard right now, it is for most people. hard times unfortunately. Try to see some things that you can eliminate from your life. Cable is something that is really a big waste or money. Have a yard sale. Try to be strong. Every time you feel yourself starting to slip think about those little babies that you are blessed with and remember what life is all about. It's gonna be a hard time no matter what right now. It's better to stay focused and stay on the same page as your husband, than to fight and blame each other. Positive reinforcement is better than nagging. nothing good nor bad last forever.

You could find out about Benefits without him.

Next time you go into your Town to do some shopping, drop into the Citizens Advice Office (or phone them beforehand to make an appointment to speak to a money advisor) and find out just how to claim and how much you can earn in part time work without losing your benefits.. One less hassle for him should he draw the short straw.

truly a bad situation - about all I can suggest is that you offer to find a job - any type of job - mcdonalds, walmart, whatever, just to bring in some income - ask him to watch the kids while you're at work -

and try to shift your work hours so he can look for work while you're home

Is he the kind of man you can count on to take responsiblity? If so, leave him alone and just be supportive when he needs it. He knows what has to be done, just let him figure things out.

He should look for another job now in his field so when he gets laid off he can shorten his unemployment. He should also begin looking for immediate part time work to augment your small income.

why dont you throw him a small party on the day he gets laid off,,, with a banner saying GLAD TO HAVE YOU HOME,, it will cheer hium up,, and he wont feel bad about not being at work

Tell him to start looking now for another job that way if they do elt him go he wil have one and if they don't let him go then he doesn't have to take it.
