My husband has been working since he was 15. When we got married and came home from our honeymoon my husband got fired when he went back to work that day. A month and I half later I found out I was pregnant! It took my husband a year to get another job. Some people gave us grief, but my husband said put a sock in it and they did. Some people are just mean, but it's your life and I hope you are able to fully enjoy this time with your husband, kids and pregnancy!

Thank you, you are already making me feel better. It is so disheartening though to feel like you are constantly criticized. My sister has been a huge critic of us too, but she has never worked as hard as I have in her life, so how can she judge? I worked while I got my BA and while I was pregnant before and she never did that. Her total count of work adds up to two summers, that"s all! Also, my cousin was born into the family business where she has worked for years, then she marring into the business where she works now! She never had to struggle to look for work, it has been handed to her HER ENTIRE LIFE!

In this country unless you are on seriously good money you are better off not working at all, we have friends who don't work who have more money then us and get there rent and tax paid, which doesn't make sense, but its the way it is.
I would just ignore ya cousin or hide her posts from your feed so ya cant see them, not worth getting yaself upset over it. x

I gave up work when I had my first baby at age 20 I am now 28 years old pregnant with my 5th pregnancy (4th baby) I have never gone back to work but I have done 2 teaching courses 2 special needs courses and a diploma in cake decorating, and I am now at college doing English Maths and social care, as my children are now in full time school. when I have this baby in February I will have to leave my course for a few weeks then luckily I have a friend who will mind him 2 hours a week twice a week, my partner works full time and always has, I claim working family tax credits and child benefit , I still have to pay all my bills myself, unlike couples who both dont work or single parents who dnt work, I dont know how it works in America, but u will find if u r a stay at home mum people will moan, if you go back to work people will moan you cant win either way.
