That’s a really good point, ebeeeee. My H still has a job, but I can see it being devastating for him if he ever lost it. And worse, I would not be “allowed” to fix it or help, because that would make him seem even more helpless, which he would greatly resent.

In my family, it was my mom who was a union member - she was a teacher. I remember as a child taking flack from all my friends’ parents, who seemed to think my mom was greedy and personally responsible that their kids were home all day.

Thinking of you EK, and hoping you are holding up.
