< I am a Christian and I am a mother >
Hello all. I am a 36 year old married mother of three boys. I have my degree in Forensic psychology and business management- human resources, I work in social services while juggling my three children and a marriage. When I originally joined this community I was excited to get back into what I love and that is helping people through listening, understanding, and guidance. However I quickly found that through my desire to help others, others are helping me. I have found my advice column beyond rewarding. I have found myself getting extremely passionate about each and every question that I read and respond to. The more the questions the greater the connection I have found between people of all walks of life, ages groups, races, gender, and religion. What I have found to be our greatest bind is love. Love for others and the love of being loved.

I am a senior in high school and in march my boyfriend and I are going to get a place together. He is 23, makes 10.00 and hr. I make 8.00 an hr. The job I have (a local pizza place) well honestly sucks. The manager only make 9.00 an hour so I am pretty sure I don't have enough room to grow there. I do not want my boyfriend to be the one paying all the bills and we do not want to live paycheck-to-paycheck.I want to stay away from fast food jobs and jobs where I stand in one spot(I get dizzy) What can I do to provide an income for us?

YOu need to stay in school and go to college. Enjoy life because you will not be happy with the road you think you want to take. Believe me it is HARD out here. Even with a college degree jobs are hard to come by especially good paying ones. Focus on your education and enjoying life. If you can stay at home please do. There is so much out there for you to experience don't shut down your opportunities so soon. Go away to college and find out what life has to offer. Encourage your boyfiend to attend as well. A couple that both have their college degree will be much happier in the long ruin and life will be much easier than two people struggling just to put food on the table. While the idea of moving in and being together for ever sounds great it just doesn't work that way. Before you know it you may be pregnant stuck at home while he's out there trying to support three or more on $10 an hour. Finacial problems will easily destroy your relationship. Give you and your future a great start by focusing on education and knowing who you are before jumping into something you have no idea about.

Is everyone telling you to stay home???? There's a reason for that. We KNOW what we are talking about. You think you are depressed now. When you are broke at home alone with babies, no friends and a boyfriend you argue with everyday you will understand depressed and wish you had listened. Good luck :)

(Rating: 1) This was not the kind of advice I wanted to hear. I. do. not. want to co go a university. its just not for me. Did you not see where I said I am going to a community college in the fall? and may I add, Im getting my masters degree in psychology. My boyfriend works at a performance shop where his boss is PAYING for him to become ASE certified. With that he could own his own shop if he wanted. And by th way I have birth control that stay inside me for 5 years, so I dont have to worry about babies. You were no help to me. Asshole.
