mommy asked: I am 3 months pregnant. My husband and I live with his parents. Within this house are my in laws, my husband’s aunt and uncle with their 2 kids, his other uncle, and his sister. While living here, I am going to school full-time. My husband hasn’t been working for about 6 months now. We don’t have insurance for our kid but I have public aid right now.
My husband has been looking for a factory job for a few months. No luck. That’s the only way to get insurance for the kid. He’s great with construction work but it’s so slow right now. He got offered a job in Chicago, about an hour away from where we are. For a handyman for an apartment complex. The pay is $400 a week and a free 1bedroom apartment but no medical insurance. I dropped half my classes to try to find a full-time job.
Should we move to Chicago and I find a full-time job with medical insurance there to help with his $400 a month or should we stay with his in laws until he finds a factory job that offers insurance while I work full-time here???
I am so depressed. Don’t know what to do.
